sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install numix-plank-theme

For Ubuntu 14.04 and other Linux, download and extract the tarball and copy the folder created from the extraction to ~/.local/share/plank/themes (press Ctrl+H to view hidden file folders start with . in name.).

To apply the theme, edit the ~/.config/plank/dock1/settings and change the value of Theme line to Numix
