I have Ubuntu 14.04. I installed Cinnamon like this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lestcape/cinnamon
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cinnamon

Also tried this.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lestcape/cinnamon
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cinnamon

All finished ok, but there was no result after reboot. Why?

If you see no "Cinnamon" option after rebooting, that probably means you didn't install a cinnamon session. The simplest fix would probably be to install the full desktop environment:

sudo apt-get install cinnamon-desktop-environment

That will, however, bring in various other packages you might not want. I can't test this at the moment, but it might be enough to just install

sudo apt-get install cinnamon-session

The package names might be slightly different. To see what you have available, run

apt-cache search '^cinnamon'
