Instructions since they added it to the repositories in 13.04+!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nemo

Use the ones below if you want a slightly-more-up-to-date version.

DO NOT USE THESE IN 13.10, unless you aren't using a unity-based Ubuntu flavour.

To install the stable version of Nemo:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nemo

To install the bleeding edge version:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nemo

Note: Nemo also shows up as Files in the dash, so the first instance of Files should hopefully be Nemo.

If you want to continue using Nautilus for drawing your desktop icons:

Show all the startup apps:

sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/nemo-autostart.desktop

Then, uncheck the item under Startup Applications that says:

Files
Start Nemo desktop at login

Install Nemo for Ubuntu with Unity.

Note: Do not use this PPA if you're using Cinnamon in Ubuntu.

The PPA provides Nemo 2.8 for Ubuntu 15.10, 15.04 and 14.04.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/nemo
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nemo nemo-fileroller

To launch Nemo, search for Nemo in the Dash.

Optional extensions :

sudo apt-get install nemo-compare nemo-dropbox nemo-media-columns nemo-pastebin nemo-seahorse nemo-share nemo-emblems nemo-image-converter nemo-audio-tab

To install the RabbitVCS extension (requires RabbitVCS PPA) execute :

sudo apt-get install nemo-rabbitvcs

Install Nemo for Ubuntu and Nautilus patches:

For Unity it can be installed like this: 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:daschuer/nemo-merge
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nemo
xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search

For Cinnamon it can be installed like this: 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:daschuer/nemo-nautilus-merge-cinnamon
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nemo

It includes the Gnome patches from the Web Upd8 version a lot of Nautilus fixes and Improvements (2819 commits ahead). Most notable is the improved search behavior.
