Hello Rani,

Thank you for your feedback, it's greatly appreciated.

1. We have no control over what is available in distributions, it's outside
our control and they decide what version to include.
2. The latest instructions on how to install KStars is maintained in the
GIT repository: https://invent.kde.org/education/kstars
3. Will correct the typos and update the links.

--
Best Regards,
Jasem Mutlaq
