Exherbo Linux
We currently provide Plasma 5 packages in the kde repository. They can easily be installed with the help of the plasma set:
# cave resolve plasma*
Fedora
We provide Plasma 5 packages for Fedora 20 and 21 in the dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository. (Please note that these packages replace Plasma 4. The Plasma 4 and Plasma 5 workspaces cannot be installed in parallel from our RPMs.) The required KDE Frameworks 5 packages are available in the official Fedora repositories for Fedora 20 (in updates) and 21, and will be automatically installed as dependencies of the Plasma 5 packages. (Unlike the Plasma workspaces, the libraries, i.e. KDE Frameworks 5, kdelibs 4 and kdelibs 3, can be installed in parallel.)
Add the Plasma 5 Copr to Yum and install the plasma-5 meta-package, which will install all needed packages.
wget http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/dvratil/plasma-5/repo/fedora-20-x86_64/dvratil-plasma-5-fedora-20-x86_64.repo
yum install plasma5
On Fedora 21, replace fedora-20 with fedora-21. On a 32-bit system, replace x86_64 with i386.
If you use DNF, simply install dnf-plugins-core and run
dnf copr enable dvratil/plasma-5
dnf install plasma5
Plasma 5 will replace Plasma 4 as the system version of Plasma in Fedora 22. Until that happens, packages for Rawhide (i.e. what will become Fedora 22 and newer) are also available from the dvratil/plasma-5 Copr repository.
Gentoo Linux
Plasma 5 packages are currently in the KDE overlay. For more information please visit the Gentoo wiki
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.

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

sudo apt install kubuntu-plasma5-desktop
sudo apt full-upgrade
