If it is Ubuntu, Playonlinux is in the repositories. You can install it from Synaptic, or Software Centre.
You can also use the commandline from a terminal which is found in the menus under Accessories for older versions or in Unity click on the Dash and type terminal. It should come after just a few letters. You can just press Alt+F2 and type gnome-terminal in most other desktops (not GNOME Shell). I think Ctrl+Alt+T will open a terminal in Unity. Not sure about GNOME shell. Once the terminal is open type: sudo apt-get install playonlinux See: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/terminal http://complete-concrete-concise.com/ubuntu-2/ubuntu-11-10-how-to-get-a-command-line-shell-or-terminal But the easiest way to install Playonlinux is to use the package manager, either Synaptic or Software Centre.
