Add Bodhi’s Enlightenment Desktop to Ubuntu 14.04

Wikis > Add Bodhi's Enlightenment Desktop to Ubuntu 14.04

This page details how to install Bodhi’s Enlightenment desktop on an existing Ubuntu 14.04 install. Please note that this method is not tested with and will not be supported with non-14.04 versions of Ubuntu.

Step 1: Add the Bodhi Repo to your Sources

Open a terminal and run:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

At the bottom of the file that is opened, add the line:

deb http://packages.bodhilinux.com/bodhi trusty main

Step 2: Sync package lists

Next you will need to sync your package lists with the command:

sudo apt-get update

Step 3: Install the Bodhi Desktop

Install Bodhi’s E19 Desktop with the command:

sudo apt-get install packagekit && sudo apt-get install bodhi-desktop

If you have an older computer or just prefer E17 you can install that instead with the command:

sudo apt-get install bodhi-desktop-e17

After this completes an “enlightenment” session should now be available in your login manager.
