    15 The dependencies are handled by Macports and should be installed automatically. Please note that several large packages are required by KDE, so that the installation may take a long time.

    17 The ports contained in Macports essentially match the packages provided on [http://download.kde.org/extra/mirrors.html KDE mirrors]. Several ports end however with a "4", or start with "kde4-" in order to differentiate the ports from the ones of the older KDE version 3. A list of the available ports is provided [wiki:KDE#Listofports below]. It is also possible to get a full list by issuing the command

    24 Unfortunately, Macports **does not provide an out-of-the-box working installation**. There are some small steps which need to be performed by the user, which are listed below.

    32  Kbuildsycoca:: Kbuildsycoca4 is a command which refreshes the cache of KDE, which is required for many applications to work properly. In UNIX, this command is automatically run periodically, but this is not the case on OS X. The recommended way is to use this command to automate its use, after installation of kdelibs4 by Macports:

    44 Like most of Macports ports, KDE ones install most of the applications in ${prefix}/bin, which defaults to /opt/local/bin. However, most of the KDE end-user applications are built as Apple's bundles (double-clickable apps), which are then installed in ${applications_dir}/Macports/KDE4, which defaults to /Applications/Macports/KDE4.

    46 One should note that several applications save their preferences within a directory outside the Macports structure, located at ~/Library/Preferences/KDE. This implies that preferences are maintained throughout upgrades, but also that these files would not be handled by Macports upon uninstallation.
