# 2.2. Requirements

In order to successfully compile KNotes, you need the latest versions of `libkdecore` and `libkfm`. All required libraries as well as KNotes itself can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/.

You need to have sendmail up and running in order to be able to mail you notes. Once kmail is finished this might change.

You need a2ps for printing. If you don't have it -- get it. http://www.enst.fr/~demaille/a2ps.html

Tip

  a2ps together with GNU enscript are the most essential printing utilities in the UNIX world. Make sure you know them well.
