Kubuntu

Packages for Kubuntu 14.04 LTS For 14.04, on Kubuntu, Project Neon is available as PPAs which offers frequently updated development snapshots of KDE Frameworks. Packages will be installed to /opt/project-neon5 and will co-install with your normal environment.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:neon/kf5
sudo apt update
sudo apt install project-neon5-session project-neon5-utils project-neon5-konsole

Packages for Kubuntu Utopic For Utopic (will be 14.10) releases of KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 are being packaged in the next PPA. These will replace your Plasma 4 install.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/next

On openSUSE, there are repositories with snapshots of KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt 5.3. You can add repositories in openSUSE through the graphical YaST software repositories module, in Software Repositories and then Add and Specify URL. Enter the URL of the links below.

You can also add repositories through the command line with zypper. Use the following command:

Where <name> should be an alias that is easy to remember.
