If you have followed the Guide: Ubuntu install of ROS Jade and configured your Ubuntu repositories. Then you can run sudo apt-get install ros-jade-joy.

It is also OK to install a ROS node from source, but I can't address the reason why your joy doesn't function well from the info you gave.

It is strong recommended to go through all the ROS beginner tutorials.

If there is no ros-jade-joy in the apt repositories, you have to install from source. So go to your catkin workspace and clone that source code, and make the code. Then check if joy has been installed.

cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/ros-drivers/joystick_drivers.git
rospack find joy
