Building

The easiest way to make changes and test Discover during development is to build it with kde-builder.

Vendor Customization

Want to change the apps featured in the Editor’s Choice section? Add a configuration file named /usr/share/discover/featuredurlrc that points to a JSON file patterned off the default one present at https://autoconfig.kde.org/discover/featured-5.9.json:
