no desktop environment, need help


I just installed Debian without a desktop environment. I really want to be able to run KDE, right now i have nothing. And i don't know what to do, and i don't want to reinstall the OS.

i've done
apt-get install kdebase
and i did the same for kdm
but i can't get them to work. i really could use some help
