I’ve tried following the instructions but after installing ppa, I don't know what should I do with about the Synaptic Package Manager and all. Also my download doesn’t start automatically and when I click on 'if download doesn’t start automatically' link it takes me back to the homepage. I have no idea what I'm doing and what I've to do now? I want to install miro via terminal!
I’m using 14.04-LTS.
Edits:
I've referred this and successfully installed a 4.04 versioned miro. The homepage shows the latest version as 6.0 What should I do to upgrade?

Open a terminal and run (Ctrl+Alt+T)
Note: These are third party PPA's for miro and ffmpeg, not supported by their developers, they may be obsolete and insecure (at the moment of this post, the latest build of FFmpeg was 2014-03-29 which lags behind several Security Advisories and Miro 2014-10-22), use it at you own risk.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:joyard-nicolas/ffmpeg
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg miro

If sudo apt-get install miro does not work from the terminal then the simplest way to do this is to download the appropriate DEB file from this site and use the appropriate version for your version of Ubuntu.
When downloaded, just open the DEB file and click on the install button. In my case, it gave a warning about there already being a copy in the repository but I just ignored it and installed with GDebi. GDebi should already be installed. If not, you can install it from the terminal with
sudo apt-get install gdebi
This is a picture of it working with the installer still open:
