| Enlightenment, also known simply as E, is a free software/open source graphical interface system. It can provide an ''X Window System'' window manager for use with GNOME or KDE, or it can also be deployed as a substitute for a full desktop environment. Enlightenment has a rich feature set - extensive support for themes and advanced graphics without sacrificing good performance. | |

| The latest stable release of the software is version 0.16.8.5 . Version 0.17, also called DR17, is currently in development and is designed to be a full-fledged desktop shell based on the new Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL). DR17 is a complete rewrite from DR16, targeted toward a range of platforms from embedded systems and mobile devices (including phones) to workstations. | ||<tablestyle="float:left ; margin: 2em 2em 2em 2em; padding: 0.5em;">{{http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8271/btlogo.gif}}|| The Ubuntu Beginners Team exists to enhance the initial experience of new Ubuntu users and to guide existing Ubuntu users to become part of the global Ubuntu community.

They have entries for Jaunty, Intrepid and Hardy. So if you wish to install on the latest Ubuntu release you will have to install e17 from source on Ubuntu. Step 1: Install the build dependencies, to do this simply paste the following chunk of code into your favorite terminal and let it work it's magik<<BR>> <<BR>> sudo apt-get install xterm make gcc bison flex subversion cvs automake1.10 autoconf autotools-dev autoconf-archive libtool gettext libpam0g-dev libfreetype6-dev libpng12-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev libungif4-dev librsvg2-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxrender-dev libxrandr-dev libxfixes-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libxss-dev libxp-dev libxext-dev libxinerama-dev libxft-dev libxfont-dev libxi-dev libxv-dev libxkbfile-dev libxres-dev libxtst-dev libltdl7-dev libglu1-xorg-dev libglut3-dev xserver-xephyr libdbus-1-dev liblua5.1-0-dev<<BR>> <<BR>> 10.04: Add the package libxml2-dev to the above list. 9.10: Add the package libxkbui-dev to the above list. 8.04: Add the package libltdl3-dev to the above list and remove libltdl7-dev<<BR>> <<BR>> Step 2: Now that we have all the dependencies installed, we are going to use the easy [[ http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/easy_e17/easy_e17.sh | e17 script]] to download, compile, and install e17 from SVN. To do so click on the link to download the script. Then assuming you downloaded the file to the default Downloads folder run the following in terminal to get the install going<<BR>> <<BR>> cd ~/Downloads && chmod +x easy_e17.sh && sudo ./easy_e17.sh -i<<BR>> <<BR>> Step 3: Now assuming the commands you ran in step 2 finishes without issues/errors check the output in terminal, it should mention some "environmental variables" that need to be set. Copy and paste each of the export lines it lists to you and run them in terminal.<<BR>> <<BR>> sudo cp /opt/e17/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/enlightenment.desktop<<BR>> <<BR>> Log out of your current desktop and select "Enlightenment" from the log in options you are presented with in your login manager.<<BR>> <<BR>> Enjoy your new E17 powered desktop! Also please remember E17 is considered beta software - so it is not encouraged to use it on production machines. Lastly I would like to also say that while the default configuration of e17 appears crude at first, this is intentional. E17 is extremely customizable. Play with settings, move things around, add and remove objects and you will see creating a beautiful and customized desktop is just a few clicks away!<<BR>> <<BR>> === Install e17 on Ubuntu using Enlightenment Repositories === |
