==Kubuntu==
 
Add the Neon5 repository:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:neon/kf5-snapshot-weekly
sudo apt-get update
</syntaxhighlight>
(If you would like more frequent updates, (which also bear the risk of breaking more often!), use "ppa:neon/kf5-snapshot-daily" or "ppa:neon/kf5" for the most frequent updates.
To install Project Neon 5, issue the command
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install project-neon5-session project-neon5-utils \
project-neon5-konsole
</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== Running Project Neon 5 ===
 
The LightDM login screen will now offer a Project Neon 5 session. You can also run neon5-env, and start plasma-shell from there. By default, we start an xterm with the environment set up. In order to start plasma, run "plasma-shell", for Konsole, start "konsole".
If you want to keep your current session running (which is probably most convenient), you can run
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
neon5-env
kdeinit5 --kded
kwin --replace &
plasmashell
</syntaxhighlight>
to start Plasma in a window (not as desktop or root window).
 
==openSUSE==
openSUSE offers snapshots from git master updated frequently as well. Add the KDE:Unstable:Frameworks repository (http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories#Plasma_Next) and the Qt53 repository (available at the same link) and install the plasma-next-session package to have a session available at the next login.
 
==Gentoo==
 
Gentoo provides beta as well as live ebuilds inside kde overlay, with dependencies in qt overlay. The following assumes you have a basic understanding of Gentoo Portage and already [http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman set up layman] initially:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
layman -a kde && layman -a qt
emerge @kde-next-live --autounmask-write=y
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
To make the most of it, run
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
layman -S && smart-live-rebuild
</syntaxhighlight>
to get the latest packaging changes for qt and kde and update any ''live'' packages that got new commits since last time.

==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.
 
==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".
