change flavours from Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) to MATE 15.04

Question

Is there a way to change flavours from Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) to MATE 15.04 without downgrading back to 14.10 first?

Ok got it , it was staring me right in the face!

First make sure your package list is up-to-date by running:

sudo apt-get update

To install MATE, choose one of the apt-get options below.

This will install the base packages required for a minimal MATE desktop
```
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-core
```

This will install the complete MATE desktop

sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment

This will install the complete MATE desktop including a few extras
```
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras
```
