This document provides instruction for setting up handy programs/tools for your new or existing Ubuntu install.

Make your Downloads folder structure, I did this:

  cd Downloads/
  mkdir programs    # Store all your downloaded packages/repositories in here

  wget https://atom.io/download/deb # get atom-amd64.deb
  dpkg -i atom-amd64.deb # Install atom using dpkg:

Once atom is installed: Install the atom IDE package from atoms package manager (apm):

  apm install atom-ide-ui

Install Language packs:

  apm install ide-cpp
  apm install ide-python

Enables Mac like swipe gestures for changing desktops. Start with typing in the following command:

  sudo gpasswd -a $USER input     # install will not work till you logout and then back in

Once you log back in:

  sudo apt-get install xdotool wmctrl     # These are dependency's

Install Base Tool: Debian & Ubuntu:

  sudo apt-get install libinput-tools

Install libinput-gestures:

  git clone http://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures
  cd libinput-gestures
  sudo ./libinput-gestures-setup install

Many users will be happy with the default configuration in which case you can just type the following and you are ready to go: Start the process:

  libinput-gestures-setup start

Make the tool startup with Ubuntu:

  libinput-gestures-setup autostart

If this doesn't work for you then you will have to play around with the commands in ~/.config/ or aka /home//.config/ to get there:

  cd home/<yourusername> | cd .config

or just simply type

  cd ~/.config
  sudo nano libinput-gestures.conf

and you want mac like swipe gestures for Ubuntu then, copy the following into in ~/.config the libinput-gestures.conf file: aka your switching the keys to push, swipe up will be ctrl alt Down instead of ctrl alt Up

  #Example virtual desktop switching for Ubuntu Unity/Compiz. The
  # _internal command does not work for Compiz but you can explicitly
  # configure the swipe commands to work for a Compiz virtual 2
  # dimensional desktop as follows:
  gesture swipe up       xdotool key ctrl alt Down
  gesture swipe down     xdotool key ctrl alt Up
  gesture swipe left     xdotool key ctrl alt Right
  gesture swipe right    xdotool key ctrl alt Left">

this is for the github clone, so far as not worked for me. I suggest going to popcorntime.sh/ and downloading the .deb then, Install Popcorn Time:

  cd /opt/     # /opt is for "the installation of add-on application software packages"
  sudo git clone https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop.git     #Get official popcorn time repository.
  cd popcorn-desktop
  ./make_popcorn.sh
  sudo tar Jx -C /opt/popcorn-time      #Extract to directory made above
  sudo ln -sf /opt/popcorn-time/Popcorn-Time /usr/bin/popcorn-time      #create a symbolic link so non-privileged users can start Popcorn Time in any directory.
