Instractions are written on WordPress website as follows.

Assuming you have a working version of WordPress installed you must do the following:

But, how to copy the folder to my local plugins directory? What is plugin? Where can I find my plugin? I am totally pazzeled. Can someone help me??

I assume you are in a selfhosted wordpress.org blog, because if you’re in wordpress.com, you can’t install plugin.

To copy the folder to your plugins directory, this ecommerce plugin has to be in .zip format, and to copy:
1. login to your cPanel, and look where you install wordpress.
2. go to wp-content folder, and look for plugins.
3. inside this plugins folder, upload your ecommerce zip
4. extract it, and you#re done, to activate it, go to your dashboard, and plugins. look for your plugin’s folder you’ve just extracted it.
