How to get Gnome 3 on ubuntu

Does anyone know how to get gnome 3 on Ubuntu 14.04.2. I tried i3 but it gets very confusing very quick for me. So i thought that I should start with something basic like @Logan. If anyone can help get gnome 3 running without killing my unity set up (in case I have to go back) It would help a lot. Thx.

use Ubuntu GNOME.

If you've already installed Ubuntu 14.04, there's no point in installing Ubuntu Gnome. Instead, use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Once you've completed each of these commands, restart your machine. Then use the following command to install all of the Gnome 3 goodies:

sudo apt-get install polari gnome-sound-recorder bijiben gnome-clocks gnome-music gnome-photos gnome-boxes

Hope this helps! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
