How to install kde plasma 5 on RedOS or Centos 7?

Question

Graphic shells

Hello everyone, in our organization there is a massive transition to domestic software, we are switching to Red OS and as far as I know it is built on Centos 7, I may be wrong, but it is very similar to it both in package base and commands. The interface is certainly nicer than in Astralinux, but still I like KDE Plasma 5 more and I would like to install it there.

Does anyone have experience installing Kde plasma 5 on these distributions? As I understand it, you need to compile from source, there is no way to roll by adding some kind of repository and installing with a command from the terminal?

If you have a detailed instruction on how to compile, I would be very grateful, I generally found an English-language instruction on the Internet, a little incomprehensible, but I haven’t had time to try it out yet, if anyone has it, please send some convenient manual with a set of commands for installation

Installing kde on centos is easy:
yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces" -y
echo "exec startkde" >> ~/.xinitrc
init 6
systemctl get-default (should be graphical.target output)
Actually everything, but if the output after systemctl get-default is different, for example "multi-user.target", then we run
systemctl set-default graphical.target (output is Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target.
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system /default.target to /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target.)
