I keep getting this output:
soham@fortress:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions gnome-tweak-tool

Update: Fixed that. Now GNOME Tweak Tool shows me an exclamation mark beside the extension enable button, saying "Extension doesn't support shell version". My GNOME shell is already the latest version. Help!
