How to obtain KStars

KStars is distributed with KDE as part of the kdeedu "Edutainment" module.

We also occasionally make an independent release. These independent releases will be available as a gzipped tar archive from the following website: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kstars/.

Independent releases are announced through the <kstars-announce@lists.sourceforge.net> mailing list. Releases are also posted to the KStars home page, apps.kde.com, and freshmeat.net.

Finally, KStars has been packaged by many Linux/BSD distributions in the past (including Redhat, Suse, Debian, Mandrake, and FreeBSD), although this was before we became part of the kdeedu module. It remains to be seen if these distros will still package independent releases of KStars separately.

If you would like the latest CVS development version of KStars, please follow these instructions.
