This will likely be closed as unclear or too broad. You don't say what you tried, what symptoms you expected, and what symptoms you saw instead. – Drew Feb 12 '16 at 23:02
You might want to contact the author of that library, and ask for some doc, if there is none. – Drew Feb 12 '16 at 23:03
Download them, put them in your load-path and require them. See emacswiki.org/emacs/LoadPath and emacswiki.org/emacs/RequiredFeature – Ista Feb 12 '16 at 23:05

Yes you should contact the author since it doesn't seem trivial. A comment on the author's website: "This seems really cool, but some install & instructions for the dummies among us would be helpful. Installing the “standard” way — i.e. (require 'movie) just results in “Required feature 'movie' was not provided” — even though one can subsequently invoke M-x RET movie-browse, for instance. Also, thumbnails aren't being generated, and I'm not exactly sure where that Perl code needs to go. " – Ehvince Feb 13 '16 at 14:16
