Installing Avant Window Navigator (AWN) on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon

This guide aims to be the most basic way to install a Mac-style dock on your Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon". Following these steps is easy and you will love the added functionality a dock provides. The dock you will be installing is called "Avant Window Navigator", and the installation instructions are as follows:

1. Make sure you have your desktop effects level set to "Extra" or "Custom". You can check this by going to "System" -> "Preferences" -> "Appearance", and clicking the "Visual Effects" tab. "Extra" is a good choice if you have never heard of "Compiz".
2. Now open a terminal window (press ALT+F2, then type gnome-terminal, then press ENTER). When the terminal window is loaded, type the following and then press ENTER:

   Code:
   
   sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
   

   (you will be asked for your administrator password, which you set when you installed Ubuntu).
3. A text editor will open, and you must add these two lines to the end of the document:

   Code:
   
   deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator
   deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator
   

   ... then save the document, and close the text editor.
4. The next part you should just copy and paste into that terminal window, then press ENTER once it appears to finish:

   Code:
   
   wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/reacocard.asc
   sudo apt-key add reacocard.asc
   rm reacocard.asc
   sudo aptitude update
   

   (this downloads a "key" file, updates your keys list, and then deletes the "key" file)
5. Finally, you must actually install Avant Window Navigator. Copy and paste this into the terminal window, then press ENTER:

   Code:
   
   sudo aptitude install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr
   

6. You may run Avant Window Navigator by clicking on "Applications" -> "Accessories" -> "Avant Window Navigator".
