    Is there any good reason for not clicking the "Install"-button on the desktop?

    Just make sure not to overwrite the partition of your previously installed OS if there is one and you intend to keep it.
    If this other OS occupies the whole disk and uses some strange file system better use the partitioning tool of that OS to free up some space before you install Ubuntu. 20GB should be plenty.

    The Ubuntu download page actually has full instructions for installing the OS. Take a look: Download | Ubuntu
