    <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=https://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>

      The order of building files is important due to internal dependencies.

        embedded systems and plasma-phone-components provides phone

      If you intend to start <application>Plasma</application> using a
    display manager such as <xref linkend="lightdm"/>, there will be two entries
    for <application>Plasma</application>, one for use with
    <application>Xorg</application>, and another for
    <application>Wayland</application>. Modify the
    <application>Xorg</application> entry with the following command, as the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, so that you can
    differentiate between the two:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>sed '/^Name=/s/Plasma/Plasma on Xorg/' -i /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop</userinput></screen>
