Compile Kdenlive 24.12.0 from Source in Ubuntu 24.10
- This guide shows how to compile the Kdenlive video editor 24.12.0 from source tarball in Ubuntu 24.10.
- Kdenlive dropped native .deb package support for Ubuntu since version 24.02 and now provides official Flatpak package and AppImage.
- The tutorial requires you to install build tools and dependency libraries, including Qt6 multimeida, Qt6 declarative-dev and MLT 7.28.0 amongst others.
- MLT 7.28.0 is required for Kdenlive 24.12.0 which is not available in Ubuntu 24.10 (which only has v7.24.0), therefore it must be compiled and installed from source.
- Following that, Kdenlive can be downloaded from the KDE project website and installed by configuring the source code through the terminal, building and installing the video editor.
- Kdenlive is installed into /usr/local by default, however, adding -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local can be used to override the system default and specify alternative installation directories.
- After installation, either start Kdenlive from the start menu or by running the kdenlive command in the terminal.
- As a final step, users can clean up by removing source tarballs and source folders from downloads folder and optionally removing developer packages to free up space.
- Uninstalling Kdenlive involves deleting all relevant files in the terminal.
- Users can also use plocate to find left-over files and update plocate's database to clear out removed files.
