If you mean how to upload and use one: upload it as an ASCII file (it won't work otherwise) to your cgi-bin then set the permissions to whatever is stated on the script (different FTP clients have different ways of doing this, see your FTP software's help file for details) and it should work. Some scripts require changes before uploading, but if the script creator is any damn good they should be in simple English (e.g. "Change 'YOUR_DOMAIN' to your actual domain name").

Some more complicated scripts require a slight programming knowledge but, as has already been posted, we need to know what language they are in. Asking for instructions for all programming languages is like asking a chef to give you a recipe that will make all types of food! However if you have some specific instruction that you do not understand, post it here and someone will probably be able to explain it for you.
