First of all make sure you have the necessary repositories. To do that, open a shell and type
[> sudo gedit /etc/apt/source.list
and add these two lines (if they are not already there)
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu intrepid main
NOTE: if you are running hardy instead of intrepid, just change the words in the above line (intrepid --> hardy)
Save the changes and close gedit.
Second, you need to update the repository list, so, in the konsole run
[> sudo apt-get update
And finally install the avant dock.
CLI Method
[> sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator awn-manager
Of course, it is possible that you need some extra packages, so, say Yes if you are asked to install'em
GUI Method
Go to System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager
Search for
and mark them for installation.
Apply the changes.
When the installation is completed, launch the application in Applications --> Accessories --> Avant Window Manager and configure it as you please.
Enjoy!
