Get a server that supports cgi... open up the zip the script comes in, open the readme... follow directions.

Make sure your server/website supports CGI and what restrcitions it puts on them (some only lets you run cgi scripts in /cgi-bin ) then upload the .cgi file and use an FTP program to CHMOD (change file permissions) to 755 or 777 (lets people read and execute the script). Do the same thing for .php, .pl and all manner of different scripts.
