Ok - part of the problem here is that you don't tell us what went wrong!
And I don't know anything about Ubuntu, though I used Debian thirteen
years ago......

You have downloaded the tarball - good.

You have unzipped it somewhere sensible - maybe in an .emacs.d directory

Then you went 

cd org-8.0 (or whatever it is called)

and did make - did that go wrong?

If it did there is a chance you don't have to tools on board to build
it. This command should get them for you:

apt-get build-dep <package_name>

where <package name>  is the name of your emacs package.

Try make again

If it runs this time then fire up emacs and add these line to your .emacs
file - you will of course need to edit the path.

(setq load-path (cons "~/path/to/orgdir/lisp" load-path))
     (setq load-path (cons "~/path/to/orgdir/contrib/lisp" load-path))

Restart your emacs and you should be good to go. 

Good luck!
