#REDIRECT [[Plasma/Live_Images]]
 
==Kubuntu==
 
'''Packages for Kubuntu Vivid''' Next and Next backports PPAs for Utopic (15.04)  are now deprecated and  beyond end-of-life. The present release is Wily, 15.10.
 
To test upgrade to Xenial, which will be released in April 2016, please use the PPA-purge package to remove PPAs and packages from PPAs, and  install `kubuntu-desktop` meta-package, and finally:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>
before initiating:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo devel-release-upgrade -d
</syntaxhighlight>
to move to Xenial. Instructions for moving to the beta will be given here once it is released.
 
'''Live Image of Kubuntu Wily with Packages from Git''' The [http://files.kde.org/snapshots/ Weekly Live Image], updated  with latest source from Git to run a full system from a USB drive or DVD.  Based on Kubuntu 15.10, Wily.
 
==openSUSE==
openSUSE offers snapshots from git master updated frequently as well. Add the KDE:Unstable:Frameworks repository (http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories#Plasma_Next) and the Qt53 repository (available at the same link) and install the plasma-next-session package to have a session available at the next login.
 
==Gentoo==
 
Gentoo provides beta as well as live ebuilds inside kde overlay, with dependencies in qt overlay. The following assumes you have a basic understanding of Gentoo Portage and already [http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman set up layman] initially:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
layman -a kde && layman -a qt
emerge @kde-next-live --autounmask-write=y
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
To make the most of it, run
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
layman -S && smart-live-rebuild
</syntaxhighlight>
to get the latest packaging changes for qt and kde and update any ''live'' packages that got new commits since last time.

==Fedora==
Now that Plasma 5 has been released, Fedora packaging only tracks the official Plasma 5 releases, not snapshots. See [[Plasma/Packages#Fedora]] for installation instructions.
 
==Arch==
Plasma 5 workspace is available through the official repositories. For the full installation, simply install [https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/plasma-next/ plasma-next].<br />
Frameworks 5 libraries are also in the official repositories under [https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/kf5/ kf5] and [https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/kf5-aids/ kf5-aids].<br />
There are git versions of the above, as well as many other Frameworks 5 applications installable through the [https://aur.archlinux.org/ AUR].
 
See the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE KDE] page on the ArchWiki for more information.
 
==From Source==
Following the instructions here it will automatically build all KDE software that has a KF5 port, most notably the Plasma workspaces, but also development previews of Kate, Konsole and Dolphin.
 
Afterwards follow the guides for "Runtime setup" and then run "kwin --replace" and "plasmashell".
 
==Live CD==
 
'''Live Image of Kubuntu Wily with Packages from Git''' The [http://files.kde.org/snapshots/ Weekly Live Image], updated  with latest source from Git to run a full system from a USB drive or DVD.  Based on Kubuntu 15.10, Wily.
