I note you are new to Linux and I suspect you have just encountered
for the first time one of the big differences betweenLlinux and
Windows.<br>
<br>
With Linux the easiest way of installing most programs (and kmymoney
is no exception) is to look for it in your distros package manager.
You will most likely find that references to kmymoney are in there.
Select and it will be automatically downloaded and installed. <br>

<pre wrap="">Well, since you don't tell us in which format the file is and possibly where
you got it from, it is a bit like reading the crystal ball to give you advice
for installation. Some information about the linux distribution and version
you use would also be helpful. Do you plan to install a binary version of
KMyMoney or do you intend to build it yourself from sources?
