FreeBSD KDE Ports
You can install KDE software (either the KDE4 Software Collection, or KDE KDE Plasma with KDE Applications) from both packages and ports. It's a lot faster to install from packages, and compiling KDE software will also take a lot of disk space and memory.
Packages
Packages are available from the official FreeBSD package repository.
- Installing KDE4
- The meta-port for KDE4 is called
x11/kde4, but there are also dependent ports for the larger components such asx11/kde4-workspace.
- Installing Plasma5 and Applications
- The meta-port for KDE Frameworks 5 is called
x11/kf5-frameworks, but each individual framework can be installed separately. - The meta-port for KDE Plasma5 is called
x11/plasma5-plasma, but each individual component can be installed separately. - There is no KDE Appications meta port. The closest thing is
x11/kde-baseappswhich pulls in the essentials. Each application can be installed individually. - There is a fat metaport
x11/kde5.
To install KDE packages on supported FreeBSD versions (10.3 and later, and generally x64):
# pkg install x11/kde4 # For KDE4 # pkg install x11/kde5 # For the Qt5 based KDE experience
