I don't quite see why you'd want to install twm but it should be so
simple as just apt-getting twm. Generally it will give you an option
to boot into it on the login screen but sometimes you need to write a
.desktop file in /usr/share/applications

sudo apt-get install twm
I did the sudo apt-get install twm command, But how do i install it?
i still just get my old desktop interface
logout switchn DE
You may have to make a session entry for your DM to recognize it.
Copy a session file from /usr/share/xsessions/, modify it to your needs, then put it in the /usr/share/xsessions directory (Renamed, of course.)
Although I have no idea why anyone would want to force themselves to use TWM-- it's like grating nails on a chalk-board...
If you want something more serious, xmonad is a million times better than TWM.
how to install xnomad then?
"sudo apt-get install xmonad xmobar xmonad-contrib dmenu"
You don't technically need xmobar or dmenu to use xmonad, but this is probably the easiest setup to make.
You'll need to make simple ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs and ~/.xmobarrc config files. (If you don't fancy the idea of making config files.
I won't describe the process here, but I'll link you to mine, if you'd like some reference. There are also a lot of great tutorials for configuring xmonad.
https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Config_archive/John_Goerzen%27s_Configuration
http://jadedmeta.net/mirrors/Cool%20Stuffs/xmonad_config/
Those links should help you get started.
After writing the xmonad and xmobarrc config files, you'll be able to select xmonad from the login screen. (A little circular icon next to your username allows you to choose your DM or WM)
Ok. I 've done it. I can select a Desktop Manager of my choice. But now, How do i change my settings so it asks me to logon first rather than go into the desktop immideatly after i turn my computer on?
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Setting_an_Automatic_Login and remove those lines instead of adding them.
And by the way, I tested TWM on Debian and it works way better than in trisquel. maybe Xnomad is the way to go then!
