+The KDE ports can be installed with MacPorts in the same way as other ports, such as here for the kdelibs4 port:
 {{{
 sudo port install kdelibs4
 }}}
+__**IMPORTANT NOTE**__: The user needs to perform some additional steps __**after**__ installation (see below).
+
 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.
 
 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. KDE 3 became obsolescent in 2008 and is no longer supported, so KDE 3 ports should be avoided as far as possible.
