Please dont take offense to this, as i have to be short and dont want to come off as abrupt.

The best advice that can be given is to start a sandbox (demo site) on your local machine or a webserver. understand how teh drupal core works, and what you get with it. When you firmly on your feet with understanding a good percentage of core decide how you want to expand teh functionality of your site by adding the modules found in the contributions area.

Then you can ask questions about specifics and get more detailed information about how something works, or if something is available that works a certain ways.

Drupal is a serious sea of possibilities fathoms deep with expanaions and ideas for expansion.

Have you tried http://drupal.org/node/43767 (from the Handbook)?

However, the bottom line is make sure your module version matches your drupal version, extract the module into the drupal/modules directory and go to admin / modules to enable the module.

If you'd like a more specific answer, try to narrow your question a little bit.
