Installing Latest Gnome 3

Posted March 21, 2011 by jonboy60 in Command

Did you ever tried the latest Gnome 3 yet? It is very superb, i must say so! This script from GNOME site is very simple in use and this way I’m running GNOME Shell under Fedora 14. But first run this script as normal user, not as root! It should install then all needed dependencies.

So, go to terminal and your user directory and type:
$ curl -O http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/plain/tools/build/gnome-shell-build-setup.sh

Then you type:
$ /bin/bash gnome-shell-build-setup.sh

Last:
$ jhbuild build
(you will need to wait, suppose you can do other stuff first)

To run gnome-shell after a build, run the wrapper script, which will take care of sandboxing and run gnome-shell automatically.
$ cd ~/gnome-shell/source/gnome-shell/src
$ ./gnome-shell –replace

Everything should go fine!
