# 3.5. From Source Code

If you want to build KWord from source code, you should:

1. Ensure your computer has all the required software installed and in working condition (excluding KOffice of course). You can find the system requirements by following this link: System Requirements.

2. Download the KOffice source file (***insert filenames (srpm and tar) here***) into a temporary directory.

3. If the filename ends in .src.rpm (Redhat Package Management file), the source code for KOffice can be installed with:

        $ rpm -U filename

   If the filename ends in .src.tar.gz or .src.tgz (a tarball file), the source code for KOffice can be installed with:

        $ tar -xzvf filename

4. The source code for KOffice should now be installed on your system.
