I was able to successfully install Bitcoin ABC on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, alongside Bitcoin Core, using these instructions:

1. Download the appropriate binary from here: <https://download.bitcoinabc.org/>

   For me, the command would be:

   `wget https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.16.2/linux/bitcoin-abc-0.16.2-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz`
2. Extract the archive:

   `tar xzvf bitcoin-abc-0.16.2-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz`
3. Rename the binary files:

   `cd bitcoin-abc-0.16.2/bin/; rename 's/bitcoin/bitcoinCash/' *`
4. Install the files into `/usr/local/bin`:

   `sudo install -m 0755 -o root -g root -t /usr/local/bin *`

And voilà!

`bitcoinCashd -version` outputs:

> Bitcoin ABC Daemon version v0.16.2.0-6af5e93
>
> [...]

`bitcoind -version` outputs:

> Bitcoin Core Daemon version v0.15.1
>
> [..]

`ls /usr/local/bin` outputs:

```
bitcoinCash-cli  bitcoinCash-seeder  bitcoind    test_bitcoin
bitcoinCashd     bitcoinCash-tx      bitcoin-qt  test_bitcoinCash
bitcoinCash-qt   bitcoin-cli         bitcoin-tx

```
