| | |
| ==KDE neon==
| |
| KDE neon has the latest builds of Plasma built continuously from releases, Git stable branches or Git unstable branches.
| |
| | |
| * [http://neon.kde.org/download User Edition with released software]
| |
| * [http://neon.kde.org/download Developer Edition with builds from Git branches]
| |
| | |
| ==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 is packaging releases in the official Portage tree, usually a stable version and in addition the latest upstream release in a timely manner (see [https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/kde-plasma/plasma-meta Packages: kde-plasma/plasma-meta] for current status). It also provides beta, current stable branch and master branch ebuilds inside kde overlay. The following command will install a full Plasma desktop, configurable via multiple USE flags, this being Gentoo.
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| emerge plasma-meta
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| See the [https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE KDE Plasma] wiki for detailed installation instructions.
| |
| | |
| ==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==
