  <para>KDE Plasma 5 is a collection of packages based on top of KDE Frameworks
  5 and QML. It has been derived from the monolithic KDE 4 desktop.
  They implement the KDE Display Environment (Plasma 5).</para>

    <title>Downloading KDE Plasma5</title>

    <para>
      The easiest way to get the KDE Plasma5 packages is to use a single
      <command>wget</command> to fetch them all at once:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>url=http://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/&plasma5-version;/
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=3 -A '*.xz' -np $url</userinput>
<literal>
The options used here are:
  -r            recurse through child directories
  -nH           disable generation of host-prefixed directories
  --cut-dirs=3  remove three levels of directories when saving
  -A '*.xz'     just get the *.xz files
  -np           don't get parent directories</literal></screen>

    <title>Setting Package Order</title>

    <para>
      The order of building files is important due to internal dependencies.
      Create the list of files in the proper order as follows:

    <caution>
      <para>If you have KDE4 installed as well as Plasma 5, make sure the 
      PATH environment setting has the Plasma 5 binaries before the KDE4 entry.
      You can ensure this by running:</para>

      <screen><userinput>pathprepend /opt/kf5/bin</userinput></screen>

      <para>before running startx.</para>
    </caution>

    <para>
      You can start <application>Plasma5</application> from runlevel 3, using
      <xref linkend="xinit"/>, or from runlevel 5, using a Display Manager,
      such as <xref linkend="sddm"/>.
    </para>

    <para>
      To start <application>Plasma 5</application> using <xref linkend="xinit"/>,
      run the following commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>cat &gt; ~/.xinitrc &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal>ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session $KF5_PREFIX/bin/startkde</literal>

startx</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      The X session starts on the first unused virtual terminal, normally vt7.
      You can switch to another vt<emphasis>n</emphasis> simultaneously
      pressing the keys Ctrl-Alt-F<emphasis>n</emphasis>
      (<emphasis>n</emphasis>=1, 2, ...).  To switch back to the X session,
      normally started at vt7, use Ctrl-Alt-F7. The vt where the command
      <command>startx</command> was executed will display many messages,
      including X starting messages, applications automatically started with
      the session, and eventually, some warning and error messages. You may
      prefer to redirect those messages to a log file, which not only will keep
      the initial vt uncluttered, but can also be used for debugging purposes. This
      can be done starting X with:
    </para>

    <screen><userinput>startx &amp;&gt; ~/.x-session-errors</userinput></screen>

    <note>
      <para>
        You may wish to drop consolekit and/or dbus-launch, e.g., just using
        startkde in ~/.xinitrc. However some capabilities such as mounting or
        umounting file systems from a file manager will not be possible, or the
        reboot option may be absent or inoperative, among other problems.
      </para>
    </note>
    <para>
      When shutting down or rebooting, the shutdown messages appear on the vt
      where X was running. If you wish to see those messages, simultaneously
      press keys Alt-F7 (assuming that X was running on vt7).
