Install
=======

To keep the latest stable version installed, updated, and easily removed from the same interface,
it is recommended to install this service menu through *Dolphin*:
- From Settings > Context Menu > Download new services;
- Search for "open with kate";
- Click on the *Install* button and select the localized archive of your choice.

Also, the *Discover* application can install it, but doesn't allow to select a localized version:
- Under Application Addons > Servicemenu;
- Search for: "open with kate";
- Click on the *Install* button.

For debugging purposes, follow one of the other methods mentioned on the project page:
