Can I install KDE4 ?

It seems like I'll get the latest kde5 if I type 'pacman -S plasma'.
How do I get kde4? I know it's deprecated but still.

Thanks

News from 2015-12-12: https://www.archlinux.org/news/dropping-plasma-4/
So you don't. At least not through any supported means.
You'll have to either create your own PKGBUILD or find some other person that has already done so.

Depreciated? It's unsupported. Upstream has discontinued it, and Arch hasn't supported it for well over a year now.

If you want to use KDE4, then you should probably look into a different distribution. LTS versions of some distros may still be using it.

Mobo: MSI MAG X570S TORPEDO MAX // Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X @4.9GHz // GFX: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT // RAM: 32GB (4x 8GB) Corsair DDR4 (@ 3000MHz) // Storage: 1x 3TB HDD, 6x 1TB SSD, 2x 120GB SSD, 1x 275GB M2 SSD

Making lemonade from lemons since 2015.
