Well, font packages do not work properly by placing just .sty files.
You need to get the whole font package if you need to manually install
it on older TeX distribution.

"newtxtt" font package can be downloaded from:

     http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/fonts/newtxtt.tds.zip

The way to manually install a package can be found at:

     http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/73016/

Method 3 in the answer is your option. (If you really want to do so.)

But you can just try "make mstx" instead. This gives mostly the same
result give or take the shape of "0" (hashed in mstx).

On Ubuntu 16.04, installing texlive-fonts-extra should be enough.

Hope this helps.

                                        Thanks, Akira
