Actually it's pretty simple. There are a lot of instructions on that 
page because there are quite a few ways of installing/building emc.
In a nutshell:
Start a terminal window and enter the following:
cd Documents
mkdir emc
cd emc
sudo apt-get install cvs
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z5 -d:ext:[email protected]:/cvs co -demc2-trunk emc2
cd emc/src
./configure --enable-run-in-place
make
sudo make setuid
cd ..
. scripts/emc-environment
(note the space after the dot - it's important)
emc

You can copy and paste the more complicated lines. Paste in terminal is 
<shift><insert>.
Theoretically you should be able to copy the whole lot and paste it in 
one go but I have never tried it. Obviously you would have to remove my 
comment :-)

to run the cvs version of emc in the future you need to open a terminal 
and enter the following:
cd Documents/emc
. scripts/emc-environment
emc

Not as easy as clicking on an icon but not too bad. This won't affect 
your main emc installation so you can have both versions on the machine 
at the same time.
