well first, you need to compile it.

to do that, open the console and type:
sudo apt-get install build-essential   (incase you dont have the
required programs to build it)

then type: gcc mct_u232.c

if all goes well, you should have a file like mct_u232.o. this is your
compiled file.

idk how you install it (the site didnt provide any direction on that).
