Linux and Microsoft Silverlight

It has been awhile since I've been on the forum. Unfortuantely, life has come to a point where I have little time to build or try new things. However, I am currently having some issues. I have Ubuntu 14.04 loaded on my current laptop (it is the only computer I have currently). I am taking a class (majoring in Cybersecurity) and it requires the use of an online lab which need Microsoft Silverlight to run. I have tried looking it up online how to get it to work, but perhaps its my poor knowledge of command line use, but I cannot get it to work. Even when I cut and paste. Is there anyone who could walk me through getting it to run. Just a warning, I do not know how to utilize WINE. I'm thinking this is where my issue is. Thanks!

Cheers,
Matt

If you need silverlight look into the Pipelight project. They have a PPA for Ubuntu. It will have what you need
