hello,

there many ways how install programs on ubuntu, using terminal, using various package managers synaptic simplest graphical way go ubuntu software center , click install.

prompted password , once in, should work automatically. no need fiddle repositories if application shows in software center.

if ever need add repositories (it's storage on net software , future updates ubuntu use), can add them via software sources said. edit menu (as other menus in ubuntu 11.10) hidden. hover mouse on title of window, on top panel. revealed.

careful add though.
