Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssh-client # client for secure access to remote machines
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install ssh

Optional commands:

sudo apt-get install openssh-server # server for secure access from remote machines
sudo apt-get install hotssh # GUI front-end for ssh
