Have a look at this thread http://askubuntu.com/questions/469697/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-lts-on-windows-8/469722#469722 which could help you with some idea. – BDRSuite Oct 06 '15 at 12:58

So in order:
Get it from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop What apps are required? None, you can either install Ubuntu (it will replace Windows 8.1 if you don't have a dual boot though) or launch it as a live cd to test before installing. Either way, you need to "boot" with the CD.
Basically, juste download the file from the official website, burn it on a CD (using Nero or whatever software), put it in your optical drive, reboot the machine and chose to boot from the CD.

There you go, hope it helps ;)
