DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

First of all you will need to install the LibAlkmia which first needs some requirements to be fulfilled as follows

Qt Creator or KDevelop4 (personally, I find Qt Creator easier to grasp, even if less powerful in the end)
KdeSVN
Qt libs and docs
KDE libs and docs
automoc
GMP (this is for mathematical calculations needed for the currency class)
Boost libs
cmake

After finishing the installations as mentioned above you need to follow the steps as follows

Open the terminal and change the directory where you want the files to be downloaded.

Use the svn link to download the files

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/office/alkimia

Now you will have the directory Alkimia downloaded with a lot of files.
Change the current directory to libalkimia(present inside the Alkimia directory)
```
cd alkimia/libalkimia
```

#:make install #:The above two statements could also have been combined into one and be simply wrtten #:<pre style="color:red">make install

If you didnt get any error till now, then you have installed the libalkimia successfully
