Use Ubuntu's package manager to find and install them.

To quote from the instructions I linked:
Run the executable in the stepmania dir.
If you want to run stepmania from a launch button like some desktop environments have, make a shell script like this and set the launch button to run the shell script. This assumes that the stepmania folder is ~/stepmania. If you don't know already, "~/" is shorthand for the home folder of the current user on Linux.

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/stepmania
./stepmania



I personally always use a command line to run it, but I have seen other people set up launch buttons to start stepmania with a click. The shell script in the code block is what is used to start it from a launch button.
I don't use Ubuntu, so I can't give step by step instructions for setting up a launch button to execute a command.
