Help with rplidar sdk installation and port error on ubuntu 16.10

edit

Hello I'm a beginner on the ROS and linux world

I'm using a rplidar to get the laser map, however after the installation instruction from ROS kinetic tutorial I'm getting an error when after writing the command

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar.lanuch

it gives me this error

Error,cannot bind to the specfifed serial port/dev/ttyUSB0

Then, I thought I had to download the driver which the SDK zip file from the rplidar website After that, when I go to my downloads directory

cd downloads ls

it show that I have the zip file

rplidar_sdk_v1.5.7.zip

and now I'm stuck, I don't how to unzip this file

I have tried this but it did not work

unzip"rplidar_sdk_v1.5.7.zip"

Also, I tried to look online for the port issue, but did not found a solution I tried the

ultra_simple /dev/ttyUSB0

and also

chmod /dev/ttyUSB0

but none of them work

Sorry for the bad explanation but I'm kinda lost

Thank you

UPDATE :

After using ls /dev when the lidar is connected , here is what i get
