Install cool retro term in ubuntu

If you like to bring a retro look to your modern desktop, this would be the first app you wanna consider! I like to make my Ubuntu look like a Unix machine. So I started trying and found out this wonderful lightweight and eye-candy terminal app for my Linux box. It has many profiles like IBM Dos, Apple etc. Using this terminal makes us feel like we are in some Sci-Phy movie kind of thing. So today we will see how to install this app in our Ubuntu machines. I  do not know if this supports older versions of Ubuntu, but it works charmingly in my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. So, 14.04 users must follow below steps:

Steps:
