Click the red download button. A .zip file will be downloaded to your "Downloads" folder.

The .zip file should open a disk image (.dmg) file which will mount and display in the Finder.
Now, open a new Finder window and navigate to your [username]/Library/iTunes/Scripts/ folder.

If there is no folder named "Scripts" there, create one.
Select and drag the files from the disk image window into the "Scripts" folder. Scripts placed in this folder will appear in the iTunes Scripts menu.
Close the disk image window and eject it from the Finder sidebar.
