How to install MATE in Ubuntu 14.04

Add the following repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list using the following commands:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/ppa
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/trusty-mate
Make sure your package list and packages are up to date:
sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get upgrade  
Select one of the three following commands to install MATE:
  1. This will install the base packages required for a minimal MATE desktop.
    sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-core
    
  2. This will install the complete MATE desktop.
    sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment
    
  3. This will install the complete MATE desktop including a few extras.
    sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras
    
Instead of lightdm use lightdm-gtk-greeter for the login display manager as recommended by the MATE team:
sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter  
sudo shutdown -r now  # reboot
