Let’s imagine that you have website http://www.website.com/ and you want to install script there.

Create folder simple-string (use any other name) in root of your domain. Once created it can be reached by URL: http://www.website.com/simple-string/
Edit inc/config.php and set MySQL database parameters.
Go to admin panel http://www.website.com/simple-string/ using default login/password (login: admin, password: admin), configure script on Settings page and create at least one campaign on Campaigns page.
Make sure that your website loads jQuery. If it doesn’t, just add this line into head section:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
Add these lines into head section (before </head> tag):
<link href="//www.website.com/simple-string/css/uss.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="//www.website.com/simple-string/js/uss-jsonp.js"></script>
Add campaign shortcode (from Campaigns page) in the place where you want to see appropriate Simple String Box. Example:
<div class="uss-string" data-id="X"></div>
Add advertiser form shortcode <div class="uss-form"></div> in the place where you want to see advertiser form. Ignore this step if you don’t plan to sell strings.
