Ubuntu disk utility app in osx

[deep16]

is there anyway to install it ?

I don't understand, why?

There's Disk Utility in OS X, what are you trying to ultimately accomplish?

Assuming you absolutely have to run that Ubuntu app (again, why?) you could install Ubuntu on OSX using a virtual machine (Vmware Fusion, Parallels).

One of my SDcard has died and wanted to give it a shot to recover the files using Ubuntu disk utility . Heard its quite powerful.

The Gnome Disks utility is great, but it is no more "powerful" than OS X's disk utility, with the possibility of supporting more filesystems out of the box, which isn't really relevant since your SD card is probably some type of FAT, which both certainly support.

About all Gnome Disks does for data recovery is let you make disk images. Does your SD card show up in disk utility's GUI? Does it show up with "diskutil list" at the CLI? If it shows up in either of those, you can use OS X's disk utility to make a disk image of it, and try recovery (like photorec or testdisk) on a copy of the disk image, or if it's really important send either the card, the image, or both to a data recovery specialist.

Edit: Gnome Disks is written in C and licensed under the LGPL, so in theory, you could try to compile it under OSX if you'd like, I'm not aware of anyone that distributes binaries of it for OS X though, and I have no idea what the dependencies look like. Probably not realistic.
