But before we get into the details of installing it. Let’s see how it looks like on Ubuntu 10.04.

Let’s get on with the installation. Open a terminal window and add the following line and copy paste the following line.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa

Next up copy paste the following line in your terminal

sudo apt-get update

Next copy paste the following to install Cairo Dock in your Ubuntu 10.04.

sudo apt-get install cairo-dock

That’s it Cairo dock is installed. You can start it by going to Applications > System Tools > Cairo Dock (If your system doesn’t support OpenGPL).

If you have OpenGPL support you can run cairo dock with OpenGPL

Applications > System Tools > GLX-Dock.

By default Cairo is not installed to run at startup. You can do so, by going to System > Preferences > Startup Applications. And adding the following.

That’s all. We are done here!
