How to install unity desktop over gnome?

Question

I installed Ubuntu gnome because I didn't want unity, but now I want the option to switch between unity and gnome. How do I get unity working?

if both are installed in log-in screen you can select whichever you like. — Minimus Heximus, Jul 09 '14 at 19:25

Open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-unity-desktop

Then log out, and before you log in, you should be able to change the desktop enviroment.
