Generally, you look at the instructions first.

Then, if the script is in a demo, you copy and paste the script from the script editor in the demo project to the script demo in your project.

If it's not, then you copy the code, right click and select Insert to add a new page in the script editor, and paste the code in.

Then do anything that might need to be done in the database , materialbase (importing special battlers and such), or in an event. That should be in the instructions and demonstrated in the demo (if there is one).

If the script is extremely complex to install, it's sometimes better to just use the demo as the base for your project, if you haven't gotten too far.
 
Under most any circumstances, RGSS scripts are inserted (copy/pasted) into your project's Script Editor (F11 bring it up). I'm saying most of the time, due to some scripts requiring you to 'edit' a few scripts here and there... and with detailed instructions on what to edit. But for the most part, you paste the whole script into your project in between the Scene_Debug script and the Main script.

Some scripts include features that you can turn on or off... or other editable values (game speed... custom names.. whatever). These things are usually found in the script's configuration or setup section.
Code:
@my_mapname   = true
@my_mapcolor  = color.new(255,255,255,255)
This is just a sample of a couple switches. Let's just assume that this little snippet of a script turns on/off a window that shows the map's name and set's the text's color, shall we?

Please check the post for other options.

Also, some scripts require other materials such as audio files (sound effects for menu functions) or graphics (icons for custom menus or special 'battlers' for custom battle systems). If these files are not supplied in the topic, then you may want to check the topic on how to add or use your own resources in their place. Thank god for the Resource Analysis section, eh?

'Course the best way to get a script is to download a working demo. Right?

Just read up on all the features from the topic where you downloaded it and you'll do fine. Start experimenting and maybe you'll become a scripter too.

Edit: She beat me to it. That's 10 minutes of typing for you.... ;)
 
im trying to open the rxproj file, but i am getting this message "Project could not be read due to imcompability between software versions" , is there something i need, or am i not doing something right?

Yeah. You need the legal English version of RMXP. The Japanese version and the various illegal cracks and translations of it cannot open projects made with the English version.

Not to mentions it's, y'know, illegal and immoral to use.
