==Kubuntu==
 
'''Packages for Kubuntu Utopic''' For Utopic (14.10) releases of KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 are being packaged in the [https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/next/+packages next PPA].  These will replace your Plasma 4 install.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/next
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kubuntu-plasma5-desktop
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo reboot  [save any work first; sorry no elegant way to reboot]
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
For '''daily builds''' you can use one of the [[Kubuntu/PPAs#Kubuntu_Continuous_Integration_.28CI.29|Kubuntu CI PPAs]].
 
'''Live Images of Utopic''' [http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-plasma5/ Kubuntu Plasma 5] images are a development build of what will become the default desktop for Kubuntu next year.
 
'''Live Image of Kubuntu Utopic with Packages from Git''' The [http://files.kde.org/snapshots/unstable-i386-latest.iso.mirrorlist Weekly Live Image], updated every Friday with latest source from Git to run a full system from a USB disk.  Based on Kubuntu 14.10.
 
==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".
