how to install compiz on ubuntu

Before installing compiz you might ask what it is compiz. This is the definition of compiz that I got from wiki pedia. 

Compiz is one of the first compositing window managers for the X Window System That uses3D graphics hardware to create fast compositing desktop effects for window management. The effects, Such as a minimization effect and a cube workspace are Implemented as loadable plugins. Because it conforms to the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual standards, Compiz can substitute for the default Utter in GNOME or KWin in KDE. Compiz plugins include the cube effect (example to the right), Alt-Tab application-switching with live previews or icons, and a feature similar to Exposé. The Composite extension to X is used, as is the OpenGL extension GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap.The first version of Compiz was released as free software by Novell (SUSE) in January 2006 in the wake of the (also new) Xgl. Sources (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz).
