How do I install the pantheon desktop environment?

Question

How do i install pantheon desktop environment?

Answer 1

First open a terminal window (press Ctrl+Alt+T).

Now paste these commands one by one in the terminal:

bzr branch lp:elementaryos
cd elementaryos
sudo conf.sh --configure-installed

Now logout and select pantheon on the startup.

Answer 2

I would try their PPA https://launchpad.net/~elementary-os/+archive/daily

To add it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily 

The new dock, Plank, is in its own PPA: and so is its browser:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/docky && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:midori/midori-dev 

Then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install elementary-desktop plank midori

I havent been able to install beatbox too.

Answer 3

This is answer for newer releases of Ubuntu - 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 (I tested this on 12.04).

• Open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T).
• Add repository (Use this repo at your own risk!)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily

• Update and install

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install elementary-desktop

After completed install log out and chose session called Pantheon in LightDM.

Answer 4

You can try this:

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:elementary-os/daily

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:midori/midori-dev

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:nemequ/sqlheavy

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:ricotz/docky 

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:marlin-devs/marlin-daily

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y upgrade

sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
