First, be warned that it might not be legal in some countries, because of software patents.

With that being said, here is how to install it, click here:

ubuntu-restricted-extras Install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Or you can open up a terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras Install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Select yes, and you'll have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed and working.

Or use apt-get (type in terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras).
