Install XBMC inside Ubuntu?

Question

Is it possible to install XBMC inside Ubuntu without changing the whole system?

I would like to use the system for my Videos but I also need my Ubuntu unity desktop.

Just be aware that XBMC is going to be changing to a new product name in the near future to become "Kodi". Currently in beta. — douggro, Dec 17 '14 at 14:52
I thought if I install with apt I would change the whole system (like with atp-get install kubunut-desktop)? — rubo77, Dec 17 '14 at 15:12
No, it will install as a stand-alone app. Using the answer provided by Henry below, you will get the latest XBMC stable build. This is how I have it installed on my system as well as my HTPC box. — douggro, Dec 17 '14 at 15:33
