Quoting the package info XML file:

After installation you will need to add the shoutbox to your template. To do this just call the smfshout(); function
from somewhere within your template. You may need to add it as ', smfshout();, ' if you are inside an echo statement.

i am new to smf so i realy dont get what you are trying to say about just call the smfshout(); function so if  i am using the default theme that comes install with smf i would need to go in that folder look for the file named Themes.template.php and add this code into it some where ', smfshout();, '  and it will work? am i on the right path here lol ?

please read the shout mod's thread, there is specific instructions on how to add it, and a couple of examples.
