Unpack the archive to somewhere served by your web-server.

To use need X-domain file access, your web-browser needs to support PHP. In this case, you should open index.html and where it say

WrapXHR.setRouter("...")

change the URL to point to your site. That is, if your installation will be served from http://example.org/jRevolution/, then you should have

WrapXHR.setRouter("http://example.org/jRevolution/wrapxhr.php");

in the index.html file.

The code was developed by Bertrand Bellenot, and is available here. The blog post has more information about it.

Christian Holm Christensen did some hacking on the original work. The main changes are

Allow Cross-domain access to files. This is accomplished by use of the PHP proxy wrapxhr.php. Apart from a few hick-ups here and there, it did not involve any code changes to the original work.
Allow access to local (client-side) files. This utilize the new File interface for HTML5. Essentially the browser sets up a URL that the code does requests against. Of course this all happens internally to the browser and the original code is none-the-wiser for it.
Some tidy up of the appearance :-)
