==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]
 
==openSUSE==
openSUSE offers snapshots from git master updated frequently as well. Use https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Argon_and_Krypton or https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories
 
==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.
 
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==
