| ==Choose Version and Build Method==

| |
| There are different KDE branches with different [[build requirements]].
| |
| For production use, we recommend using a stable version of KDE. You will probably want the latest stable version for which you have the prerequisites.
| |
| | |
| The TRUNK is the main branch where new features (and prerequisites) are added.
| |
| | |
| The steps to build most branches are very similar. You can configure [[Getting_Started/Build/kdesrc-build|kdesrc-build]] to build most versions. Need link to build kde3 versions
| |
| | |
| [[Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Troubleshooting|Troubleshooting]] information is similar between branches as well.
| |
| | |
| Also consider Project Neon, where you may be able to download recent-enough Trunk Kubuntu packages and build enviornment.
| |

| | |
| === Manual Steps ===
| |
| * [[Getting_Started/Build/KDE4|KDE 4 (Development version, TRUNK)]]
| |
| * [[Getting_Started/Build/KDE4.x|KDE 4.x (Stable version or 4.x SVN BRANCH)]]
| |
| * [[Getting_Started/Build/KDE4.4 Upgrade|Upgrade KDE-4.4.x release version or KDE-4.4 SVN BRANCH)]]

| * [[Getting_Started/Build|Other versions and FAQ]] ''Including information for building on non-linux systems''

| ==Setting up the Environment==
| |
| [[Image:Action_pen.svg|right|32px]]
| |
| After KDE has been built, you'll want a good way to launch apps and perform your regular development tasks:
| |
| * [[Getting_Started/Increased Productivity in KDE4 with Scripts|Increased Productivity in KDE4 with Scripts]]
| |
| * [[Getting_Started/Set up KDE 4 for development|Set up KDE 4 for development]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Contribution==
| |
| You may not need the latest bleeding-edge KDE to develop with, Much code will be similiar between versions and your patch might work, however Trunk is where major changes are introduced, and branches are mostly maintenance/bug fix.
