== Installing 4.9 beta 1 with your distribution packages ==
===Slackware===
The packages will be obtainable at http://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/
The instructions for usage will be posted on http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/
===Arch Linux===
There is a dedicated [kde-unstable] repository. This repo only contains KDE/Calligra beta releases (and their unstable deps); when the stable version is out, the packages are removed.
Installation steps are at:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#Official_kde-unstable
and
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:KDE#Users
In case you want to test Pairs alone, you can use the package from aur 'pairs-git': http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=56310
===Gentoo===
Provides scm versions (ebuilds) for master/trunk & stable branch, betas and rc's in an extra repository (overlay). Detailed install instructions can be found here:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml
===Fedora===
There is an unofficial kde-unstable/kde-testing and a kde-stable repo maintained by Rex Dieter - the place where the newest bits come for already released stuff. But Fedora Rawhide is always the first place for all builds.
===Kubuntu===
==== Using Project Neon ====
Project neon will install the latest version of KDE *alongside* your current installation.
This has the advantage that your main system is not upgraded, but does require a significant more amount of disk space.
Note that project neon runs with a different KDE config directory so your settings will not be transferred, but also your original settings will not be changed.
=====Installation=====
First add the project neon repository:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neon/ppa
</syntaxhighlight>
Then upgrade apts list of packages
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get update
</syntaxhighlight>
Finally install project neon:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install FIXME FIXME FIXME.
</syntaxhighlight>
=====Running=====
When at your login screen, click the blue arrow to select your Session, here select "Project Neon".
To revert back to your original KDE setup, select "KDE Plasma Workspace"
== Compiling the sources ==
