looking glass 3d howto

[|{urse]

this is just a cut and paste from the official lg3d site. I'm installing the latest nightly build, this wm looked really cool about a year ago.

Install using apt or the Synaptic Package Manager (on Ubuntu) by doing the following (you will need root permissions to do this, so sudo bash first) :

* There are 3 LG3D repositories. The stable repository has the latest stable releases (0.8.1, 1.0 etc.). The testing repository has the pre-release builds (alpha, beta etc.) for the latest version and the unstable repsoitory has the nightly builds. To access these repositories, add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list and then comment/uncomment the appropriate line(s).

## LG3D repsoitories
deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian stable contrib
# deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian testing contrib
# deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian unstable contrib


* Then you can

% apt-get update
% apt-get install lg3d-core
