Although the preferred method of installing programs is with the package manager, individual software package files can be downloaded and installed. Several kinds of package files are available for Linux systems. Generally, these file types are associated with the package managers of specific Linux distributions.

To install a particular application, it is preferable to select a Kubuntu package of the application, and install it with a package manager. This ensures that the program is compatible with other software on the system. If there is no version of the package available through a package manager, it may be possible to install it manually. The installation procedure depends on the type of package file.
