Usually NetworkManager is included with the Linux distribution that
you've installed.  If not, you can use that distribution's package
manager or command-line tools to install NetworkManager.  For
Ubuntu/Debian-derived distributions, try the System menu, ->
Administration, and then Synaptic Package Manager.  Search for
"network-manager" and check (or "mark for installation") it when it's
found, then hit the Apply button and let the operation complete.

For Fedora, choose System -> Administration -> Add/Remove software, then
search for "NetworkManager", then check "NetworkManager" and
"NetworkManager-gnome", then hit Apply and let the operation complete.

Other distros have similar mechanisms for installing new software.  Hope
this helps!
