2. Installation

2.1 How to obtain Krio

The latest sources can always be found here Krio here.

Information about anonymous CVS access can be found here, and is only recommended for advanced users.

2.2 Requirements

Krio requires KDE v1.1.x and QT v1.4x. In addition, Krio must be run either as root or as an SUID executable. The latter is the default, and is taken care of by the Makefile. For this reason you must make install as root.

2.3 Compilation and installation

In order to compile and install Krio on your system, type the following in the base directory of the Krio distribution:

% ./configure
% make
% su -c 'make install'

The last line requires the root password for the system you are on. Without it you will not be able to install or use Krio.

Since Krio uses autoconf you should have no trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to either Kyle Smith or Adam VanderHook.
