How to install ZappWM desktop environment in ubuntu

A simple "my own" Desktop for Linux ( designed by vertigini.com.br, not a WM ) with a strong focus on social networks and Cloud Computer users , based on Fluxbox and ROX . For now, we have packages for Debian , Ubuntu and compatible, but with the code , all written in zenity , shell script , it is very easy to port it to any Linux distribution . The goal is to provide an environment that is a very lightweight option for consecrated Unity , Gnome , KDE or XFCE and LXDE and has excellent usability . How we use the ROX desktop, as a basis , the user will have access to advanced features of the Drag'n Drop . Basically , you can drag applications , documents and folders to the panel , desktop and elsewhere . This is a characteristic of ROX . The default shortcuts are focused for the most common applications of Ubuntu / Debian / Mint . But you can customize them to your like . If a shortcut does not work, simply remove the icon or install the corresponding application .
