Install the latest Avant Window Navigator Lucido using PPA on Ubuntu 10.04

Avant Window Navigator is docking application for Linux and is one of my favorites amongst others. With lucido theme, it looks pretty neat. Let’s see how to install Avant Window Navigator Lucido on Ubuntu.

1. If you are using the stable version of AWN, then you should remove it first before installing the trunk version. To do so, type the following commands in Terminal.

sudo apt-get remove avant-window-navigator avant-window-navigator-data awn-settings awn-applets-c-core libawn1 vala-awn
sudo apt-get autoremove

2. Now add the Lucido PPA to your software sources

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:albyrock87/lucidoppa

3. Update your software sources

sudo apt-get update

4. Add official AWN applets PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:awn-testing/ppa

5. Update

sudo apt-get update

6. Install AWN Lucido

sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-trunk avant-window-navigator-data-trunk python-awn-trunk awn-settings-trunk awn-applets-python-core-trunk python-awn-extras-trunk awn-applets-python-extras-trunk awn-applets-c-core-trunk awn-applets-c-extras-trunk
