Getting breqn and its components is easy as it is on ctan now. Just
search for "breqn" which will take you to the TeX Catalogue and
onward. How to extract the files are described in each source file.
Once you have done this, see <http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=install-where

Sorry I cannot be of more help here but I am on OS X, where the
location of such files are different from that of linuxes.

The documentation contains some examples you can copy. A very small
example from my thesis (which was on breqn):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{breqn}
\begin{document}
\begin{dmath}
f(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{f^{(k)}(c)}{k!}(x-c)^{k}
= f(c)+f'(c)(x-c) +\frac{f''(c)}{2!}(x-c)^{2}
+ \frac{f^{(3)}(c)}{3!}(x-c)^{3}+\cdots
\end{dmath}
\end{document}
dmath for numbered equation, dmath* for unnumbered. dgroup and dgroup*
environments for groups of equations consisting of dmath or dmath*
environments.
