cd ~
wget https://download.litecoin.org/litecoin-0.13.2/linux/litecoin-0.13.2-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar -zxvf litecoin-0.13.2-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

rm -rf ~/litecoin-0.13.2/ litecoin-0.13.2-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

After above commands you must be able to use litecoind and litecoin-cli from anywhere in terminal.

Let's setup litecoin configuration:

cd ~
mkdir .litecoin
cd .litecoin
nano litecoin.conf

Paste this in your litecoin.conf (replace recuser and rpcpassword values)

rpcuser=litecoinrpc
rpcpassword=password
txindex=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
bind=127.0.0.1

• Press CTRL+O to save the changes.
• Press CTRL+X to exit nano editor.
