I can't install AMD driver on Ubuntu 16.04.
I took a look at Install-amd-drivers-r9-280 and AMD-graphics-driver-installer-notes-for-linux but I don't seem to understand how to install.

fglrx is no longer supported on 16.04. AMD discontinued support for its Linux driver, and it isn't compatible (you will break your installation if you attempt to install fglrx on 16.04).
For now, you have to stick with the open source drivers. AMD may be releasing a proprietary driver for Linux that works with 16.04, but it probably won't support very many cards.
Here's a comparison of how the default drivers on 16.04 compare to fglrx on 14.04, if you want to take a look:
