## Installation
KDE Partition Manager is a KF5 application, so you will need the
[KDE frameworks](https://www.kde.org/products/frameworks/) libraries to run it
on your computer. Most modern OSs will install them as dependencies
for you when you use their default package manager as the installation method.
It also makes use of external programs to get its job done, so
you might have to install additional software (preferably packages from your
distribution) to make use of all features and get full support for all file
systems.
For quick install instructions see INSTALL.
The methods listed below for each major OS are based on executing the
installation commands on a terminal window. Alternatively, you can use
your OS' package management app.
