To install a particular application, it is preferable to select a <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> package of the application, and install it with a package manager. This ensures that the program is compatible with other software on the system. If there is no version of the package available through a package manager, it may be possible to install it manually. The installation procedure depends on the type of package file.

The package files associated with <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> have the <emphasis>.deb</emphasis> suffix because of <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase>'s close relationship with the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. Individual <emphasis>.deb</emphasis> files can be downloaded and installed. Administrative privileges are required to do this.

Red Hat Package Manager files have the <emphasis>.rpm</emphasis> suffix. It is not recommended that these be installed on a <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> system. In almost all cases, a native <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase><emphasis>.deb</emphasis> version of the package is available. However, if necessary, an <emphasis>.rpm</emphasis> file can be converted to a <emphasis>.deb</emphasis> package using a program called <application>alien</application>.
