WARNING: GIT IS BEING RESTRUCTURED

Compiz is undergoing major changes and this guide may not work with the git sources. For the time being, please use the source tarballs (.tar.gz or .tar.bz2 files) from the compiz releases link below. Thanks, Compiz Support Team |
A guide outlining how to install current master can be found here.
Installing from source tarballs
This method will work on any distribution, as long as you have satisfied the dependencies required to compile Compiz which are:
|
1 |
build-essential libxcomposite-dev libpng12-dev libsm-dev libxrandr-dev libxdamage-dev libxinerama-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libgconf2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libmetacity-dev librsvg2-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-window-settings-dev gitweb curl autoconf automake automake1.9 libtool intltool libxslt1-dev xsltproc libwnck-dev python-dev python-pyrex |
Most (if not all) of these may also be obtainable through your packaging system (if you have one) via the command to fetch all build dependencies for Compiz.
Once these are installed, you can obtain the source tarball from the Compiz releases page.
To compile from the source tarballs, extract each tarball and execute the following in each package directory:
|
1 2 3 |
./configure --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install |
in this package order:
-
compiz
-
bcop
-
libcompizconfig
-
compizconfig-python
-
ccsm
-
compiz-fusion-plugins-main (it must be built before plugins-extra as it contains necessary header files)
- everything else
Installing From Git
This is not recommended unless you want the absolute bleeding-edge version or are a developer. Below is a list of git repositories:
|
Git repository |
Stable branch |
Development Branch |

compiz-0.8 |
master |

If you want to use a script, there are two provided scripts that will clone and pull everything as necessary. Clone them as below.
|
1 |
git clone git://git.opencompositing.org/users/kristian/compiz-scripts |
|
1 |
git clone git://anongit.opencompositing.org/fusion/misc/yags |
The get-git script will clone and update all Compiz Fusion related modules such as libcompizconfig, compiz and emerald and the YAGS script will clone all plugin repositories. Using YAGS is fairly simple, just execute
|
1 |
./yags $COMMAND |
where $COMMAND can be pull, make, make install, make clean, or clone. YAGS will then apply this command to all applicable directories.
NOTE: omega has started a fork of the get-git script called git-compiz, it also has built in support for building plugins, more info here, also note that this is an unofficial and unsupported way to install Compiz Fusion
