Downloading Krecipes

First of all, make sure you have at least one of the three necessary databases installed: SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL. In case you decide to use MySQL or PostgreSQL, make sure also that you have Qt's MySQL or PostgreSQL plugin properly installed. The program won't work without database support.

Note: the latest requirements for using Krecipes can be found in the Krecipes Handbook [da] [pt] [et]. [es].
