(Since this was written, you may end up with 3.6 instead! If you’ve held nemo before, you might want to unhold to install the latest version.) #Xenial post-upgrade / Yakkety pre-upgrade, outdated (Nemo 3.2)

Proceed to Other package actions that can be performed / Additional packages.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/nemo.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/nemo (preferred).

Do either to add a PPA to install Nemo 2.8 from.

Below are steps relevant for each version of Ubuntu MATE in use There are a variety of ways that one can go about obtaining Nemo. While functionally similar to Caja, Nemo provides other things of interest to some users, such as a graphical representation of volume space, zoom slider, enhanced file transfer options, a slick-looking interface provided via GTK3 (for those who care) and so on. If coming from Linux Mint, or if Caja is lacking in certain aspects for daily use, there’s fortunately an alternative which may be more preferable. The guide below shows a more thorough, albeit destructive way of doing it, but either means (upgrading from or removing 2.8) requires `nemo -q`, then `nemo -n` to relaunch it. If upgrading from Wily or Xenial.>If you installed Nemo 2.8 on Xenial, you can now add the new PPA for Nemo 3 and upgrade to it. My apologies webupd8 has no such package to my knowledge. folder-color is in Ubuntu's Universe repo. Either way gives you more folder personalization options.

That, or there is the folder-color package from webupd8's PPA.

If you want folder colours.If Costales' folder color extension for nemo is necessary for daily operation, this is the only PPA that allows use of his extension for some reason. Now that Xenial is out, I took another look at their PPA and it works.Įxcept for Zesty users who composite their desktop with Compiz. It never mattered what I did, how I did it, or the order of how I did it, webupd8's PPA for Nemo just had something _wrong_ with it. Previous and ongoing Compiz issues between repositoriesPreviously, Noobslab's PPA was the only one that functioned in Wily with Compiz, at least on my machine. So users may as well trim the fat and stick with this method, with the knowledge that some media functions within Nemo cannot be modified. Not that it matters because even if installing Nemo normally, none of the dconf schemas for it seem to function. This entire thread assumes all that is desired is Nemo without CInnamon.
