1. Install Monitoring and Remapping Application Needed for the Driver
It is Pystromo. It has to be download from Launchpad.
Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal. Run these commands one by one in terminal;
cd ~/Downloads
sudo wget "https://launchpadlibrarian.net/18545559/pystromo-0.6.0.tar.gz"
sudo sed -i '$a uinput' /etc/modules
sudo modprobe uinput
tar -xvf pystromo-0.6.0.tar.gz
sudo cp pystromo/config/52-pystromo-debian.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger
mv pystromo ~/.config/
cp ~/.config/pystromo/config/* ~/.config/pystromo/
cp ~/.config/pystromo/lib/* ~/.config/pystromo/
sed -r 's:config/:~/.config/pystromo/config/:g' -i ~/.config/pystromo/monitor.conf
sudo python ~/.config/pystromo/pystromo-mon.py
In order to start it at boot,
Type "Startup Applications" in dash, select it and open.
Then Click on "Add" button.
In the new window, type "Pystromo" in Name field, and type "sudo python ~/.config/pystromo/pystromo-mon.py" in Command field. Then click on "Add" button.
Then you have to install the device driver.
2. Install Device Driver
It is Nostromo. You need to have Sun's Java JRE 1.6 installed to run it.
Can download Jnostromo from Sourceforge. After download install it with,
cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x jnostromo-1.5.2-linux-installer.run
sudo ./jnostromo-1.5.2-linux-installer.run
Driver installation prompt will start. After installation, you can run it with jnostromo Icon in desktop.(You need Sun's java JRE versionn 1.6)

Thank you, however at the end I get
WARNING: Unable to load "/home/jev/.config/pystromo/monitor.conf"Oct 21, 2013 at 7:50 -
There was some mistakes in that article as well as in that file. I corrected them. Run
sudo rm -r ~/.config/pystromoand repeat the whole process.– user224082Oct 21, 2013 at 13:47 -
I downloaded the file and after typing in
sudo sh jnostromo-1.5.2-linux-installer.runI getjnostromo-1.5.2-linux-installer.run: 1: jnostromo-1.5.2-linux-installer.run: Syntax error: "(" unexpectedOct 22, 2013 at 4:43 -
Sorry, this time I done a mistake. Use
sudo ./jnostromo-1.5.2-linux-installer.runinstead ofsudo sh jnostromo-1.5.2-linux-installer.run. Driver installation Prompt will start.– user224082Oct 22, 2013 at 6:01 -
