Can I get the Ubuntu Software center in KDE?

Is there a way to get the Ubuntu Software Center on Kubuntu?


sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install software-center

Be prepared for gtk packages.


You can use Muon instead of USC. It is very similar and uses the same ratings system.

See the ppa here: link.


Apper looks like its just like Muon Software Center which is part of Kubuntu 12.04.

If you want to install the Ubuntu Software Center under Kubuntu without the Gnome recommended packages tacked on run this in your terminal:

sudo apt-get install software-center --no-install-recommends

I use UCS primarily to re-install purchased apps without going the long route of finding the private ppa and loading it that way under Kubuntu.
