You can go to the download section right here, look at the left side you will see download, find out which one you need 32 bit 64 bit, download, go to your download folder right click, open with Debi pakage installer, and away ya go, if you are using Ubuntu you will have to go to your software center and get Gdbi pakage installer first, Mint comes with it already installed, other OS, not sure those are the only 2 I have ever used....

if you do not see the dialout group:

sudo usermod -a -G dialout username

dmesg | grep USB
