[ Solved ] How to install mate desktop environment in Sparkylinux

Debian

MATE 1.8 is currently packaged for wheezy (via backports), testing (jessie), and unstable (sid). In the case of wheezy the backports repository has to be enabled as described in the official backport documentation.
(Mate Display Manager (MDM) is only available for wheezy. It is incompatible with newer Debian releases that rely on systemd.)

(If sudo is unavailable on your system, simply omit it and use a root shell)
First make sure your package list is up-to-date by running:

sudo apt-get update

To install MATE, choose one of the apt-get options below.

    This will install the base packages required for a minimal MATE desktop

    sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-core

    This will install the complete MATE desktop

    sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment

    This will install the complete MATE desktop including a few extras

    sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras
