<<Anchor(task)>>
=== Installing "KDE Plasma Desktop" task ===

''KDE Plasma Desktop'' task is what is installed by Debian-Installer's {{{Desktop}}} ''"task"''. You can choose this by going to "Advanced Options" => "Alternative Desktop Environments" => "KDE" in the installer menu (or by typing {{{install desktop=kde}}} at DebianInstaller CD prompt).

 To install KDE later, first make sure that DebianPkg:tasksel and DebianPkg:aptitude are installed:
 {{{
apt install aptitude tasksel
}}}

Then, install the kde-desktop task:
## BUGBUG: this installs gnome too (or other, depending on initial settings)
## tasksel install kde-desktop --new-install
 {{{
aptitude install ~t^desktop$ ~t^kde-desktop$
}}}
 * (This is what DebianInstaller would have installed in a new system, but you might want/need to uninstall the current display manager).

=== Using self-built (parts) of KDE Frameworks 5, Plasma 5, KDE Applications ===

See [[KdeBuildingFromSource|Using self-built (parts) of KDE Frameworks 5, Plasma 5, KDE Applications]].

== The appearance of GTK-applications in Plasma ==
To get gtk-applications look native in Plasma you need install these packages and configure appearance of them through [[DebianPkg:systemsettings|System Settings]] > Application Style > GNOME Application Style (GTK).

For Stretch the configuration module and the theme packages are recommended by DebianPkg:plasma-desktop so they should be installed by default for a new Debian KDE installation.
