New Person Needs Help

General Discussion

OK guys I know I may get blasted here but I am new to all of this and need to ask a couple of really stupid questions. I se apps on these forums that allow you to integrate things not yet supported officially like my MyQ Garage door opener. My problem is I dont understand how to install them. For instance this one from Copy Ninja. Is there an area in here that explains what all I need to do to install this? Or can someone explain it to me?

The wiki page is a good place to start. It covers how to install device types/handlers and smartapps.
