I've tried to install Pantheon desktop environment several times. I tried sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, but it's no use. I’m just a very new beginner. This is what I’ve done:

quanglong@ubuntu:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily

[sudo] password for quanglong:

quanglong@ubuntu:~$ 

A quick look shows that there isn't a elementary-desktop in the PPA. Have a look at these instructions.

Okay I got build errors. Haven't got time to test it at the moment :(.

Also: "After this operation, 1779 MB of additional disk space will be used."
So make sure you have a few GB's set aside if you're going to do this.

Okay so I got it working by following this: How to install the Pantheon desktop environment? Basically the PPA everyone is suggesting works, is 404-ing for me (and presumably you) when I try and access it.

1) This is syslinux-themes-elementary-isis, and the .sh script apparently requires it. Sudo apt-get didn't find it for me. You could probably test removing this dependency from the .sh if you are feeling bold. I installed amd64 version of this (as I am on 64 bit, if you are on 32 bit obviously don't), just use a .deb installer on Ubuntu:

https://launchpad.net/~elementary-os/+archive/daily/+files/syslinux-themes-elementary-isis_2-0%7E4%7Esaucy1_amd64.deb

2) This is required by the elementary os install script:

sudo apt-get install dctrl-tools dpkg-dev 

    genisoimage gfxboot-theme-ubuntu live-build squashfs-tools syslinux zsync

3) The script uses this to determine what files to download (obviously don't do both, amd64 is for 64bit and i386 is for 32 bit) (you'll want to put this in .bashrc or somewhere else for it to be permanent, not 100% anyone will ever need this again though):

export ARCH=amd64

export ARCH=i386

4) From the previous question/answer thread:

sudo apt-get install bzr

bzr branch lp:elementaryos

cd elementaryos

sudo congrego.sh

On my machine I didn't specify $ARCH so I got 90% of the way through a 970 M .iso file for i386 before I realised -_-.

Currently running through the amd64 installation.

As an aside:

# load config

source etc/congrego.conf



if [[ "$ARCH" == "all" ]]; then

        $(dirname "$0")/bin/download.sh i386

        $(dirname "$0")/bin/download.sh amd64

        $(dirname "$0")/bin/build.sh i386

        $(dirname "$0")/bin/build.sh amd64

        if [[ "$SOURCEFORGE" != "" ]]; then

            $(dirname "$0")/bin/sourceforge.sh i386

            $(dirname "$0")/bin/sourceforge.sh amd64

        fi

else

        $(dirname "$0")/bin/download.sh "$ARCH"

        $(dirname "$0")/bin/build.sh "$ARCH"

        $(dirname "$0")/bin/sourceforge.sh "$ARCH"

fi

It is a bit presumptuous that users would have that environment variable set. Unless I am reading it wrong, it seems like it will download iso's for i386 AND amd64 and then build both of them, which sounds like a bad idea. I'm noob at bash script though so it could be fine for all I know.

Just in case this is irrelevant to your machine:
