How to install Budgie on Ubuntu 15.04

Question

I used many guides, and even an offical repo, but all of them result in this

E: Unable to locate package budgie-desktop

I also tried building it myself, but that resulted in this.

make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

Answer 1

Try this:

sudo apt-get install build-essential gnome-common gobject-introspection libglib2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libpulse-dev libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libmutter-dev libwnck-3-dev libupower-glib-dev libgnome-menu-3-dev libc6-dev
git clone https://github.com/evolve-os/budgie-desktop.git
cd budgie-desktop
./autogen.sh
make 
sudo make install

Or try with PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:evolve-os/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install budgie-desktop

The official installation instructions for ubuntu is to build it yourself:

https://wiki.solus-project.com/Budgie_on_other_Operating_Systems

sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential git intltool libtool gobject-introspection libglib2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libpulse-dev libmutter-dev
sudo apt-get install libwnck-3-dev libupower-glib-dev libgnome-menu-3-dev libpeas-dev uuid-dev valac libgnome-desktop-3-dev
sudo apt-get install gnome-session --no-install-recommends

git clone https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop.git
cd budgie-desktop
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr;
make
sudo make install

But fossfreedom has packages for the latest ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/budgie-desktop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install budgie-desktop

Read about in their blog

Be warned, though. Budgie still lacks the following in Ubuntu:

• Network management
• Power management (shutdown etc)
• Volume and sound management
