Simply install it...
Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emerald compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-extra-gnome

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Thank you
