I see there are some nice apps being developed for Ubuntu touch and that some of them support larger screens. Now, I would like to run some of these apps on my desktop? Is this possible at the moment? If so, how could it be done?

I see that one can install the core apps, but I haven't found any instruction on installing click packages.

It's all done with the help of a PPA. All you have to do is to open a terminal and run the following command (you will need to be root):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/daily

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install touch-coreapps

When the installation finishes, you can find the application in Unity Dash. According to Alan Pope, the apps have been tested on Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 14.04.
