wireless - How to manually install Broadcom BCM4360 driver on Ubuntu on MacBook Air

I have a MacBook Air (mid 2013) with Ubuntu 16.04 installed on it. It is not detecting any WiFi, upon investigation I think the reason is that the driver for the wireless interface is not installed by default in Ubuntu as it is properietery. Exact version of the wireless interface on my MacBook Air is BCM 4360, here is the output of the lspci command:-



03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)


As there is no Ethernet or any other way to connect to the internet, I cannot run apt-get install. Is there any way I can manually install the required driver?
