Installing Enlightenment

[JordyD]

So I heard some nice things about Enlightenment and wanted to install it. My first thought is to type into the terminal, 'sudo apt-get install enlightenment' and supply my password for sudo. I get this for output:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package enlightenment is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package enlightenment has no installation candidate


Is there some sort of repository that I need to enable? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jordy

Well, after following this guide, I get this:


Package e17-cvs is not available, but is referred to by another package.

However the following packages replace it:
e17-svn
E: Package e17-cvs has no installation candidate


Should I try the e17-svn package?

Absolutely - e17_cvs is "no longer with us"

The thread you should be following is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=916690 (referenced in the old cvs one)

If you strike any issues, post in that new thread - several e17 users monitor it regularly.

Thank you, it seems to have worked and I think I'll be logging into Enlightenment in a little bit now.
