How to install test versions of Plasma Next
Kubuntu
Add the Neon5 repository:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:neon/kf5-snapshot-weekly
sudo apt-get update
(If you would like more frequent updates, (which also bear the risk of breaking more often!), use "ppa:neon/kf5-snapshot-daily" or "ppa:neon/kf5" for the most frequent updates. To install Project Neon 5, issue the command
sudo apt-get install project-neon5-session project-neon5-utils \
project-neon5-konsole
Running Project Neon 5
The LightDM login screen will now offer a Project Neon 5 session. You can also run neon5-env, and start plasma-shell from there. By default, we start an xterm with the environment set up. In order to start plasma, run "plasma-shell", for Konsole, start "konsole". If you want to keep your current session running (which is probably most convenient), you can run
neon5-env
plasma-shell --windowed
to start Plasma in a window (not as desktop or root window).
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 set up layman initially:
layman -a kde && layman -a qt
emerge @kde-next-live --autounmask-write=y
To make the most of it, run
layman -S && smart-live-rebuild
to get the latest packaging changes for qt and kde and update any live packages that got new commits since last time.

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".
