Press the super key and search for terminal...

enter image description here

and activate it ...

Now type or copy/paste these lines one by one (so pressing enter after each line):

cd ~/Downloads 

chmod +x amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run

sudo sh amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run

the 1st 2 commands will show nothing when executed. The last one will ask for your admin password and then show a lot of lines. Watch out for errors :)
