WARNING: GIT IS BEING RESTRUCTURED
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:
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:
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

If you want to use a script, there are two provided scripts that will clone and pull everything as necessary. Clone them as below.
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
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
