Where do I find this

You will not find these for Ubuntu/Linux. DirectX is a proprietary set of APIs, owned by Microsoft and they have not and probably will never release a version for Ubuntu/Linux.

and how do I install it to be able to play my game.

Luxor can be played with WINE with a platinum and 2 silver ratings. Installaton of DX on WINE is tricky but there are some guides.

As with anything related with Microsoft: if you want to play Windows games and have an experience as intended by the creators of those games install Windows. Either as a dual boot or in a VirtualBox container.
