Use the ones below if you want a slightly-more-up-to-date version.

DO NOT USE THESE IN 13.10, unless you aren't using a unity-based Ubuntu flavour.

To install the stable version of Nemo:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nemo

To install the bleeding edge version:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nemo

Note: Nemo also shows up as Files in the dash, so the first instance of Files should hopefully be Nemo.

If you want to continue using Nautilus for drawing your desktop icons:

Show all the startup apps:

sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/nemo-autostart.desktop

Then, uncheck the item under Startup Applications that says:

Files
Start Nemo desktop at login
