What card is it? If it isn't installed and working out of the box, usually you can install a package from the repositories containing a driver for it. If not, more and more manufacturers are starting to provide their own Linux drivers on their website.

Found these drivers online:

https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au

Follow the steps in the guide provided on the page, they're relatively straightforward.

Otherwise, this video might be more beginner-friendly.

Could you give me some more details on what you did and what failed? Did you get an error message of some kind? 

Are you sure the disk you got with it even has Linux drivers? I'd doubt it. If it does, then perhaps there's a README included that you can follow to install them?
