    <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 -nd -A '*.xz' -np $url</userinput>
<literal>
The options used here are:
  -r            recurse through child directories
  -nH           disable generation of host-prefixed directories
  -nd           do not create a hierarchy of directories
  -A '*.xz'     just get the *.xz files
  -np           don't get parent directories</literal></screen>

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