Instalando pacotes binários
No Linux, usar os pacotes da sua distribuição favorita é o meio recomendado de ter acesso ao KDE Frameworks. Veja como instalar aplicativos da KDE na sua distribuição
Compilação do código fonte
O código-fonte completo do KDE Frameworks 5.5.0 pode ser livremente baixado. As instruções para compilação e instalação estão disponíveis na página de informações do KDE Frameworks 5.5.0.
Compilar usando o código fonte é possível usando os comandos básicos cmake .; make; make install. Para um único framework de primeiro nível, isso costuma ser a solução mais fácil. Pessoas interessadas em contribuir aos frameworks ou ficar sabendo do progresso de desenvolvimento do conjunto todo podem achar mais simples utilizar o kdesrc-build. O Frameworks 5.5.0 requer o Qt
A detailed listing of all Frameworks with API documentation is on api.kde.org.
Participe
Os interessados em acompanhar e contribuir para o desenvolvimento do Frameworks podem dar uma olhada nos repositórios git e acompanhar as discussões na lista de e-mails do desenvolvimento do KDE Frameworks. Políticas e o estado dos atuais projetos e planos está disponível na wiki do Frameworks. Discussões em tempo real ocorrem no canal de IRC #kde-devel no Libera Chat.
