# 7.3. Compilation and installation

If you downloaded the KDEmultimedia package, or just the KMid package, to compile KMid you must run `configure`, then `make` and then, to install it, `make install` (most probably, as root).

I've included some examples that are installed in `$dollar;KDEDIR/share/apps/kmid`

If you run into any problem, don't hesitate to contact any of the KDE mailing list, or send a report directly to me.
