AWN - Avant Window Navigator - Install Current Version

For Ubuntu Hardy and most other Debian distributions.

To install the most current version of AWN first download the files from the development website.

AWN: http://launchpad.net/awn/0.2/0.2.6/+download/avant-window-navigator-0.2.6.tar.gz

AWN Extras: http://launchpad.net/awn-extras/0.2/0.2.6/+download/awn-extras-applets-0.2.6.tar.gz

Your going to need the build dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep avant-window-navigator

There are a couple of other dependencies for AWN Extras:

sudo apt-get install libsexy-dev libnotify-dev librsvg2-dev libgnome-menu-dev libgtop2-dev libvte–dev python-alsaaudio python-feedparser python-gnome2-extras

Then unzip the packages. CD into the AWN package first because it is a dependency of the Extras package.

Then compile as usual:

./configure

make

sudo make install

Then do the same for the Extras package. You’ll probably want to replace the gnome-panel with AWN therefore you have to disable the former:

sudo mv /usr/bin/gnome-panel ~/

This moves the binary to your home directory. If you need to access the panel for the reason you can launch it from your home directory:

.~/gnome-panel

Set AWN to start on boot by creating a startup session.
