How to install Unity 8 In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Many users on the Internet & Linux users working with Ubuntu probably already heard that after the release of a new stable branch of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in April 2016! users will be able to work with Unity 8 desktop environment! the version of Unity will be installed by default is unity 7, but you will have the choice and you will be able to install unity 8 version.
Installation is very simple, open Terminal (Press Ctrl + Alt + T), continue to run the following commands:
Remember:
Unity 8 and Mir are still under active development. They are not
“production ready” for desktop use. You should expect bugs, missing
functionality and quirks.
sudo apt install unity8-lxc
Let the installation complete fully before you move on.
Next, you MUST run the Unity8-LXC set-up wizard.
This configures the container correctly and installs the
Unity8 meta-package, apps and relevant dependencies.
To run the wizard enter the following command in to the Terminal:
sudo unity8-lxc-setup
Pay attention to the Terminal during the configuration process incase of errors or auth prompts.
Once complete you should reboot your computer (recommended, as
changes to LightDM could necessitate it). After reboot simply select the
Unity 8 session from the Unity Greeter (login screen) and login as
normal.
Bear in mind that Unity 8 and Mir are still under active development and should NOT be considered production ready.
To update your Unity 8 Preview session you will need to use the
command line (the built-in software updater doesn’t currently handle
updates). To do this run:
sudo unity8-lxc-setup --update-lxc
Keep in mind the list of known issues.
