How to install Yakuake (good terminal emulator) on Centos 6.3

Firstly you have to install kde dependencies, run your gnome terminal and execute next commands:

1. su – go to root rights
2. yum install gcc gcc-c++ make cmake kdebase kdelibs-devel

After this download Yakuake sources from this link, I use Yakuake 2.9.8 (KDE 4; Stable). Go to terminal and execute next commands

1. cd  to download folder
2. tar xaf yakuake-2.9.8.tar.bz2
3. cd yakuake-2.9.8
4. mkdir build
5. cd build
6. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/bin/yakuake/ ../
7. make
8. make install

And not mandatory step, but I did it, set yakuake to start automatically: System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications
