How do I install Compiz in Xubuntu?

How can i properly set up Compiz in Xubuntu?


Compiz is not installed on Xubuntu for reasons of lightness but it can be installed:

sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-plugins-main compiz-plugins-extra

Change to compiz:

compiz --replace

Install Compiz Config Settings Manager too:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

You can find compizconfig-settings-manager in System -> Preferences


$sudo apt-get install compiz gnome-themes compizconfig-settings-manager
$compiz --replace ccp &

Be sure to go to Settings Manager->Sessions and Startup to add the line:

compiz --replace ccp

to ensure that compiz loads each time you start your PC.
