How to install Gnome shell in Ubuntu 12?

Steps are so simple:
go to 'Ubuntu Software Centre' and search for 'Gnome Shell', our desired shell should be first or second one in the returned list. its name simply is 'Gnome Shell'. click it and then click 'Install'
It takes a while to finish downloading and installing. after installation finishes just log out the system and then log in to the system.
this time when you want to log in there is extra option next to your user name where you can choose your newly installed shell, and that's it.
you can also install Gnome shell using terminal by following command:

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

There are other shells and extension as well.
