GNOME desktop software revolutionizes user interactions.
This program is designed to replace the functions previously handled by the GNOME Panel and window manager in older versions of GNOME. With the use of new graphical technologies, the GNOME Shell provides rich visual effects that add a new level of sophistication.
Installation of the GNOME Shell package is straightforward. All that is required is to 'cd' into the directory containing the package source code and run `./configure' to set up the package specifically for your system. The configure process may take a while, and a series of messages are displayed that indicate the checked features.
Once the GNOME Shell has been configured, the package can be compiled by running 'make.' Any self-tests included in the package can be run with the 'make check' command. After compiling, the programs, data files, and accompanying documentation can be installed with 'make install.'
To clean up the directory, 'make clean' can be used to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code. Alternatively, 'make distclean' can be used to remove all the files created by 'configure' to enable compilation of the package for another computer. 'Make maintainer-clean' is for package developers and may require additional programs to regenerate files that came with the distribution. Overall, the installation process is relatively easy, even for novice users.
