You can't. To many dependency issues. Which is why it screwed up before.

You could install Gnome-Shell from the repo's.

I would suggest that you dont do it and wait for a stable release, there is no saying what will happen to your OS. It's not stable enough for installation.

If you insist on a tutorial:
Fist of all install build-dep (sudo apt-get install build-dep This will install any necessary dependencies needed to successfully compile and run gnome-shell.


sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-shell
Once you have installed all of the required packages and libraries, open a terminal and type:


sudo apt-get install gnome-shell This will install Gnome-Shell.
Once installed, you can start Gnome-Shell by typing the following command in a terminal:


gnome-shell --replace
I suggest running it from a guest session, as it will ‘kill’ compiz, requiring you to manually restart it.


compiz.real --replace
