# KDE 1 on Arch Linux
This is a short guide on how to install KDE 1 on Arch Linux.

Install [`qt1-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt1-git/), [`kde1-kdelibs-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kde1-kdelibs-git/) & [`kde1-kdebase-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kde1-kdebase-git/) from the AUR. Extra applications are avaiable in [`kde1-kdenetwork-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kde1-kdenetwork-git/), [`kde1-kdetoys-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kde1-kdetoys-git/), [`kde1-kdegames-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kde1-kdegames-git/) and [`kde1-kdeutils-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kde1-kdeutils-git/).
You also have to have `xorg-server` & `xorg-xinit` installed. *I have not tested KDE1 with a login manager (like `sddm`) so I can't help you with that.*

Edit `~/.xinitrc` and add the following lines

```
export PATH=/opt/kde1/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qt1/lib:/opt/kde1/lib
exec startkde
```

Now you should be able to start KDE1 with the command `startx`.

This was tested in a QEMU virtual machine (Video model: Cirrus) and on a machine with Intel graphics.
