+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 or re-installation may take a few hours at first, but less time for subsequent KDE applications. It may be helpful to break the work into stages: first qt4-mac, then kdelibs4 and kde4-runtime and finally the KDE applications you require.

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

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.

+The second command filters out the ports for translations of KDE applications into languages other than English.
