    It is possible but I would recommend not doing it. Because I have done it before and it always brakes unity. –  Jan 13 '17 at 07:18
  • I'm on a fresh minimal install, i don't have unity currently installed :) – digrouz Jan 13 '17 at 07:33
  • What exactly did you do and what happened? I can see the package sitting right there in the PPA for Zesty: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-os/+archive/ubuntu/daily/+sourcepub/7130818/+listing-archive-extra – David Foerster Jan 13 '17 at 09:22

  • as said before, the instructions on [How to install the Pantheon desktop environment?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/66757/how-to-install-the-pantheon-desktop-environment) are not working for me. what I did is what Liso posted below and I receive the following errors during apt-get update`E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/testing/ubuntu yakkety Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.` – digrouz Jan 13 '17 at 09:52
  • also ubuntu 16.10 is not **Zesty** but **Yakkety**... – digrouz Jan 13 '17 at 09:55

To install Pantheon DE on 16.10, run following command in order:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/os-patches
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/testing
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mpstark/elementary-tweaks-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install elementary-theme elementary-icon-theme elementary-default-settings elementary-desktop

Various user reportedly has encountered couple of bugs, since this procedure will install the unstable version. Other than that, it's completely usable and working fine.

edit the source list of elementary os ppa:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elementary-os-ubuntu-daily-zesty.list

after that change "zesty" or name of version of ubuntu with "xenial" like as:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/daily/ubuntu xenial main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/daily/ubuntu xenial main

then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pantheon-files
