How To Install Nemo File Manager In Ubuntu

Af ter f orking GNOME Shell (Cinnamon), Mutter (Muf f in) and GDM 2.0 (MDM), the Linux Mint team has f orked Nautilus and the result is Nemo, a f ile manager which is now used by def ault in Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition.

Initially, Nemo used to look the same as the patched SolusOS Nautilus so I didn't write about how to install it since it was basically the same thing under a dif f erent name. But Nemo has evolved, gaining many new f eatures and under the hood optimizations and tweaks. Here are some of the features available for Nemo file manager (for the version available in GIT / Cinnamon Nightly PPA) that aren't included in Nautilus 3.4: Unif ied, conf igurable toolbar: you can add/remove the f ollowing: up icon, ref resh icon, toggle button f or the location bar / path bar, home icon, computer icon and search icon. Detachable tabs Option to show the f ull path in the titlebar and tab bars (Preferences > Display) Displays an "elevated privileges" banner when running as root Built in "Open as root" context menu item Built in "Open in terminal" context menu item Added GT K bookmarks to the MoveTo/CopyTo context menus Added "Set as Wallpaper" to the context menu Switch view buttons on the toolbar (Grid, List and Compact views) Drag and drop support f or the bookmarks in the sidebar Sidebar: indicators under each drive, displaying the f ree/used space Collapsable sidebar categories Support f or sending f iles via T hunderbird and xdg-email Image properties improvements (merged f rom Nautilus 3.6) Memory leaks f ixes (merged f rom Nautilus 3.6) More!

And Nemo has another advantage: it doesn't overwrite Nautilus like the patched SolusOS Nautilus, so you can have both Nautilus and Nemo installed in the same time. T he Linux Mint / Nemo developers have also ported some Nautilus extensions to Nemo: there's a Dropbox extension f or Nemo, along with Pastebin, Seahorse, Fileroller and Samba extensions.

Below you'll f ind some more Nemo screenshots - in the f irst one there's Nemo 1.1.2 (stable) and the rest f eature the latest Nemo f rom GIT:

Update: the latest Nemo f rom GIT also got breadcrumbs, option to hide the menubar and a reworked statusbar. See: Latest Nemo File Manager From GIT Gets Breadcrumbs, Option To Hide T he Menu, More f or more inf o.

Install Nemo f ile manager in Ubuntu

Ne mo 1.1.2 (s tab le )

Before installing Nemo, there are a couple of things you should know: installing Nemo will also install Cinnamon desktop if you're using Cinnamon, it's not recommended to add the Cinnamon Nightly PPA since it's not stable. Only install Cinnamon f rom the Nightly PPA f or testing purposes

Inst all t he st able Nemo release in Ubunt u

Install the latest stable Nemo release (1.1.2) in Ubuntu 13.04, 12.10 or 12.04 using the Cinnamon Stable PPA:
Ne mo fro m G IT

sudo add-apt -reposit ory ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-st able sudo apt -get updat e sudo apt -get inst all nemo

Inst all t he lat est Nemo f ile manager f rom GIT in Ubunt u
Or, if you want the latest features (but probably less stability and more bugs), install the latest Nemo file manager from GIT in Linux Mint or Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 or 13.04 by using the Cinnamon Nightly PPA: sudo add-apt -reposit ory ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-night ly sudo apt -get updat e sudo apt -get inst all nemo Nemo shows up as "Files" in the menu, just like Nautilus so it's a bit hard to f ind in the menu / Dash or whatever you're using. So search f or "Nemo" and launch the f irst "Files" app that shows up, that will (hopef ully) be Nemo f ile manager. Af ter you log out and log back in, you'll notice that Nemo draws the desktop instead of Nautilus. If you want to continue to use Nautilus for drawing the desktop instead of Nemo, do the following: - Run the f ollowing command so Nemo shows up in the Startup Applications list (it's hidden by def ault): sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=t rue/NoDisplay=false/g' /et c/xdg/aut ost art /nemo-aut ost art .deskt op - T hen launch Startup Applications and uncheck Nemo - it's called f iles, but look under the name - it

should say "Start Nemo desktop at login", like in the screenshot below:

- T hen log out and log back in. T he Nemo f ile manager source code is available @ GitHub.
