The Mate developers should be showing how to install their unofficial repositories. With Ubuntu one way to do this is through a Personal Package Archive (PPA). If the Mate developers are using that method they should be providing a command for you to use.
The 14.04 software centre does not, as yet, contain a package for the mate desktop. So, Mate is yet to be included in the 14.04 official repositories.

It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.
