Hello and Welcome

Run the following in the terminal
sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins-extra
If you are planning to enable the cube in Unity see the link . See the second link for some tweaks for Unity. http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/05/enable-desktop-cube-in-unity-ubuntu.html
You will need the plugins for either desktop environment .

The plug-ins can also be installed from the software center , just use the search filter . I tested the command and it is working on my computer. I'm assuming that you have the CCSM installed already if not install that from the software center first .

Enabling Cube with unity will kill the unity. This can be solved just follow the process below

1.In compiz setting manager disable these plugin:
i) OpenGL
ii) Composite
iii) Ubuntu unity plugin
iv) Desktop wall.
Select disable plugins when a window appears asking for disabling other plugins.
After disabling these plugins your panels and unity will disappear,don't panic and follow next step.

2. Now enable these plugins sequentially.
i)OpenGl
ii)Composite
iii)Desktop cube
iv)Rotate cube
v)Ubuntu unity plugin.

And you are done.
