In order to install elementary tweaks you have to add a PPA. Make sure of knowing the dangers of adding PPAs beforehand.

elementary OS 0.4 Loki

Make sure you have installed the program for adding PPAs. Run the commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip.scott/elementary-tweaks
sudo apt update
sudo apt install elementary-tweaks

According to project page: https://github.com/elementary-tweaks/elementary-tweaks


elementary OS 0.3 Freya

curl -sL  http://i-hate-farms.github.io/spores/install | sudo bash - 
sudo apt-get install elementary-tweaks

From I hate farms ~ GitHub.


elementary OS 0.2 Luna

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:versable/elementary-tweaks-isis
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install elementary-tweaks

From Versable ~ Elementary Update.
