Hello Linux Geeksters.
In this article I will show you how to install Cinnamon 1.8 on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal and Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin.
As you know, Cinnamon is a popular Gnome 2 Fork, created by the Linux Mint team.
Because it is available in the default repos for Ubuntu 13.04, all you have to do is:
$ sudo apt-get install cinnamon
To install cinnamon on Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 12.04, do this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install cinnamon
This is it. Enjoy.
