    There is an unofficial ppa for awesome window manager. You can run the following commands:

    sudo add-apt-repository  ppa:klaus-vormweg/awesome -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install  awesome -y

    This will install the latest awesome (currently version 4.0) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, 16.10, or 18.04 LTS.
