- Upload the folder. FTP/Copy/SCP your files to the desired modules folder in your Drupal installation. Since the /modules/ folder is typically reserved for Drupal core modules, you should create a sites/all/modules/ directory and put uploaded modules there. This will also make it easier to update your Drupal site later on as your modules will not be mixed in with core modules.

NodeCarousel
This is a cool module but it is not a drop in see example site
An easy-to-use method for displaying nodes using the jCarousel library for jQuery. This is true, but should include assuming you're familiar with Drupal, Node Queue, theme overrides, PHP, and CSS. If any of this is new territory for you, then implementing NodeCarousel will be an ambitious project. It's a highly customizable module, but it's not a drop-in solution
Trouble Shooting blank screen
Add the following to Drupal's index.html to show debug info if you get the white screen of death:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);
/**
* @file
*/
....
?>
