how do i install SLiM login manager?

Question

I would like to know the easiest and most straight forward way to to install the SLiM login manager. hopefully through terminal, but I am not fussy how I install it correctly as long as it works.

I am using ubuntu 12.04 and slim login manager is a very lightweight login manager, with some connections to both awesome and DWM window manager.

Install slim:

sudo apt-get install slim

If you change your mind later, and want to fall back to the default login manager back:

Ubuntu 11.04 and later:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

Before Ubuntu 11.04:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
