# 2.3. Compilation and installation

Kfind is normally an integrated part of a KDE release and therefore will be automatically installed with other KDE applications in the normal course of KDE installation.

If you need to compile and install KFind yourself on your system, type the following in the base directory of the KFind distribution:

     % ./configure
     % make
     % make install

Since KFind uses `autoconf`, you should not have trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems, please report them to the KDE mailing lists.
