Ubuntu (For Debian and other forks, etc.: have a look at the bottom. For Linux Mint users, please use our PPA (have a look to the next text box) instead of our repository)
Installation with one copy-paste PPA Only FOR UBUNTU and forks (Linux Mint), NOT for Debian and other forks (Linux Mint Debian Edition, etc.).
Simply copy-paste all this box in a terminal :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins # or if the dock is already installed => # sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Repository Note that a mirror is also available on Tuxfamily servers (for Ubuntu only!):Please write your password (it's invisible  )
echo "deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) cairo-dock" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -q http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/cairo-dock.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins # or if the dock is already installed => # sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
(Note: The 2nd line is long and is maybe displayed as 2 lines on the page, but it's a single line.)
Installation with details
It is highly recommended to download a signed key for authentication. It will also remove the error message to inform you about security issue. To download and install the key just run the following command in a terminal:
wget -q http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/cairo-dock.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Edit your sources.listsudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
For Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS:
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/ubuntu lucid cairo-dock
For Maverick Meerkat 10.10:
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/ubuntu maverick cairo-dock
For Natty Narwhal 11.04:

Problems during install or update on Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 or newer
If you got the following message during fresh install or update:
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/cairo-dock/default-indicator.png', which is also in package cairo-dock-data
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
It's caused by packages included on Ubuntu repositories... Here is the workaround :
sudo apt-get remove cairo-dock* --purge
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
Debian
Installation with one copy-paste Simply add this line on your /etc/apt/sources.list (don't forget to replace #CODENAME# by stable/testing/unstable) deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/debian #CODENAME# cairo-dock ## Cairo-Dock Stable wget -q http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/cairo-dock.gpg -O- | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
Force APT to use packages from our repository It's recommended to force APT to use Cairo-Dock's packages from our repository instead of Cairo-Dock's packages from official Debian repositories (because the latter are poorly made with a lot of unnecessary dependencies). For that, simply create this file: /etc/apt/preferences.d/cairo-dock
With this content: Package: cairo-dock* libgldi*
Pin: origin download.tuxfamily.org
Pin-Priority: 990
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE)
EDIT: (05/13)it seems that we can reuse our Debian Testing repo!
So simply launch this command to add our repo: echo "deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/debian testing cairo-dock ## Cairo-Dock Stable" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list And then: wget -q http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/cairo-dock.gpg -O- | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
It seems Linux Mint Debian Edition no longer uses Debian testing repositories. This is why it's no longer possible to use our Debian repos.
If you want to install the latest stable version (we recommend it ), you'll have to compile the sources (because there is no special repos here for LMDE but feel free to ask again on our forum ). It's not complicated, there are 3 possibilities:
- Rebuild the deb packages (have a look bellow)
- By compiling the sources
- By using a script to compile the development version (it's quite stable because we use it everyday ) and don't forget to report any bugs of this version
For more information about this problem, please have a look to this topic: http://www.glx-dock.org/bg_topic.php?t=5815
Rebuild deb packages It's maybe the cleanest way but it's possible that the build fail if there are too much differences between LMDE and Debian Testing. If there are problems, please report these bugs on our forum.
- Add our Debian repo with the sources by adding this line in this file /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/debian testing cairo-dock - Install all dependences:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts
sudo apt-get build-dep cairo-dock - Download the sources into a new directory:
apt-get source cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins dget -u http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/debian/pool/cairo-dock/c/cairo-dock/cairo-dock_3.0.2-0%7etesting.dsc
dget -u http://download.tuxfamily.org/glxdock/repository/debian/pool/cairo-dock/c/cairo-dock-plug-ins/cairo-dock-plug-ins_3.0.2-0%7etesting.dsc - Re-build our packages:
- Core:
cd cairo-dock ## the directory may contain a version number
dch -i "Rebuild for Debian"
dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i libgldi*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f ## to install new dependences - Plugins:
cd cairo-dock-plug-ins ## the directory may contain a version number
sudo apt-get build-dep cairo-dock-plug-ins
dch -i "Rebuild for Debian"
dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *.deb ## installation of the new packages (but ++*-dbg.deb++ packages are only useful to debug crash)
sudo apt-get install -f ## to install new dependences
- Et voilà, it's done! Note that you can also uninstall *-dbg.deb packages and also other dependences downloaded to build these packages. Don't forget that you'll have to do that for each new version of the dock
