Where do I get this code

and how to I ensure that it is downloaded to
the correct directory on my Ubuntu Linux system?

"Correct directory" means whatever directory your web app uses for its
libraries, in other words, "<context-root>/WEB-INF/lib/" within your app
server's application deployment directory (e.g., $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ for
Tomcat).

NetBeans, installed here in /usr/lib/netbeans/ gives me:
/usr/lib/netbeans/enterprise4/modules/ext/jsf-1_2/jsf-api.jar
/usr/lib/netbeans/enterprise4/modules/ext/jsf-1_2/jsf-impl.jar
and a couple of related files. Glassfish, installed here in
/opt/jeesdk/jeesdk/, has
/opt/jeesdk/jeesdk/lib/jsf-impl.jar

The Apache MyFaces project has an implementation you can download. Their JARs
are myfaces-api-1.1.5.jar and myfaces-impl-1.1.5.jar. (Version numbers vary.)

The Apache Geronimo JEE server comes with MyFaces.
