Question #76725 on compiz in ubuntu changed:

Derek White proposed the following answer:
bismay,

I'm not sure if this has been touched on, but compiz is (usually)
installed by default. To activate it, simply go to System > Preferences
> Appearance, select the Visual Effects tab, and change the setting to
Normal/Extra. Then, once verifying it works, you may install
compizconfig-settings-manager and the extra plugins you want (sudo apt-
get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-
unsupported). If the plugins you want are not there, I personally would
not install them as there is no guarantee they will work.

Also, take note of the unsupported plugins notice:
"This package provides an extended collection of plugins, which have received
the least amount of review and are the most likely to be problematic on your
system."
