To install TDE on Debian 7 wheezy, you will need to add Trinity Repository to your system sources.list file
Quotesudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list
Add these lines to the end of your sources.list file

deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian wheezy main
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.13/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.13/debian wheezy main
Now you can install TDE on Debian 7 Wheezy
Quotesudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys 2B8638D0
Quotesudo apt-get update
Quotesudo apt-get install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity

TDE can be installed on Debian stable, it is not compatible with Jessie so I don't think you can.
That's why I built Sparky TDE based on Debian stable Wheezy.
I can't see it in synaptic package manager. Does it mean I have to install it using any other repositories?
I visited this website

and entered the debian wheezy repositories but there is no sparky-TDE. Do you mean anything else?
To install TDE on Debian stable Wheezy add TDE repository from the TDE project website.
I already posted that it didn't work for sparky, maybe due to the reason that sparky LxDE is jessie 8
Yes, that's right.
It doesn't work on Debian testing Jessie and Sparky too.
