KDE on Mac OSX

This is the community page for the KDE on Mac team. It is also a stand-in for the http://mac.kde.org website which is currently very outdated and so has been taken offline.

Installing KDE on Mac OSX

KDE does not currently provide binary downloads for Mac OSX. Instead you need to build KDE for yourself from source. The easiest way to do this is to use one of the Mac build systems.

Installing using MacPorts

• http://www.macports.org/

Installing using Fink

• http://www.finkproject.org/

Applications

Some KDE applications provide a standalone installer, usually in a Qt only mode and missing some KDE integration features.
