Method 1 (need Internet access):
Run:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

Method 2 (have font files in your computer):

cd $HOME && mkdir .fonts

cp /fontdir/fontname.ttf ~/.fonts && fc-cache -f -v
Replace /fontdir/fontname.ttf with your font collections path.
Hope this will help you.

No command 'home' found, did you mean:

home: command not found
