Finding & Downloading Macbuntu

You can find a download link for Macbuntu at the project’s SourceForge homepage. To view the available packages, navigate to the Files page. Here you will find various versions of Macbuntu, for example Macbuntu for Ubuntu 10.04 and Macbuntu for Ubuntu 10.10 are two different packages. You must install the appropriate package for best results with your Ubuntu release version.

Install Outline

  1. Download the correct version of Macbuntu for your version of Ubuntu.
  2. Extract the contents of the Macbuntu archive.
  3. Open a Terminal and navigate to the extracted Macbuntu folder.
  4. Install Macbuntu by running the install script with the following command: ./install.sh
  5. Follow the instructions and select your installation mode.
  6. After the installation has completed it is recommended that you restart your computer, however, this is not required.

Installation Modes

Starting with Macbuntu v2.4, the installation script has become more automated and now offers express install modes for three different versions:

Basic
This mode installs only the basic components to achieve the Mac style interface. This includes Docky, GTK Theme, Backgrounds, Sounds, Cursors, etc.
Normal
This mode installs all available options that contribute to a closer Mac style. All components from the Basic mode are installed along with Compiz with many settings that help further transform your desktop into a more Mac styled environment.
Normal + Extras
This mode installs everything from the Normal mode and then applies a few extras that are not necessarily default Mac features or possibly not Mac features at all, but further eye candy: Wobbly windows, bottom-left corner becomes hot-corner for “Show Desktop”, bottom-right corner becomes hot-corner for “Expose”, icons in Dock zoom.

After Installing

After installing, you may want to have a look at a few customizations that you can make to your Macbuntu setup.

If you have more customizations that we’ve not listed, please let us know! You can file a request, however, you should file the request with “[Wiki]” at the start of the subject or title for further clarification. Please be as thorough as you can and provide any necessary steps and pictures if you can. You can your request here (and we’ll even mention you as the requesting user)!
