BibleTime is a KDE program and is integrated with the KDE desktop.
You can launch BibleTime from the KDE <span style="background-color: rgb(240,240,240);   color: rgb(0,0,0);">start menu</span> in
the applications group.

<div class="mediaobject"><hr><img src="hi32-app-bibletime.png" alt="Icon used to start BibleTime"><hr></div>

</p><p>
BibleTime can also be launched from a terminal command prompt.
To launch BibleTime open a terminal (any Xterminal inside a KDE3 session) and type
<span class="command"><b>bibletime</b></span>.
</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="hdbk-start-otherwm"></a>Other Window Managers (not KDE)</h2></div></div><p>
BibleTime can be launched from inside other window managers
(like gnome) providing KDE is installed.  You will need to install
your own icon to launch the program.  See the window manager help
files to see how.
</p><p>
BibleTime can be used with other window managers such as Gnome, BlackBox, Sawfish, providing
KDE3 is already installed on your computer.  If you installed KDE3 using the
Linux-Mandrake&#8482; 8.x RPM's from a terminal using the mandrake RPM's KDE3 is installed
in /opt, so the start up command in a terminal is:</p><pre class="screen">
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3
bibletime
</pre><p>
BibleTime will now open inside of a window of the current window manager.
If you do not have KDE3 installed in your copy of Linux�, you should have tried the
<a href="http://gnomesword.sourceforge.net/" target="_top">Gnomesword application.</a>, or one 
of the KDE2 versions of BibleTime.
</p><p>With Linux-Mandrake&#8482; 9.0 and other other distributions where KDE 3.x is
installed in the normal location, simply type:</p><pre class="screen">
bibletime
</pre>
in any terminal to launch BibleTime.
