Any info on installing Mate SlackBuild aside AlienBob's Plasma 5?

I'd like to give Mate SlackBuilds a spin on my box, which currently runs AlienBob's Plasma 5. I don't want to uninstall AlienBob's packages, but to add Mate as an additional desktop option.

However, I'm concerned about potential clashing among some packages. Can someone give me some info on whether it's possible to install both on the same system?

Thanks in advance.

No problem.

The deps are different between these two projects, so you can install them without any conflicting packages.
