Most addons have a library folder you need to upload. That folder corresponds to the library folder on the server that already exists as part of XenForo. Make sure you upload whatever files are in there. Then you need to upload the XML file in the Admin CP. The easiest way is to use the browse button and select it on your computer.
The library folder needs to be uploaded to the root of your XenForo installation (where there is already a library folder).
The contents of the new library folder will then merge with the contents of the existing library folder.
If it's easier to think about it this way: The contents of the downloaded library folder need to be put into the existing library folder.

I too am having trouble with installing add-ons. I am trying to install the xenporta plugin. I downloaded it and unzipped it on my desktop. There is 2 folders in it: JP and Library. There is also a file named DONATIONS. From what I am understanding, this is what I have to do:
1. I have to take the contents of whats inside of the library and place it in this directory: /www/library
2. Next, I have to locate and remember where the file: addon-EWRporta is located (which is in /www/library/EWRporta/addon-EWRporta.xml)
3. Finally, I have to goto my Admin CP and click on Add-on, click on install New Add-on.
4. on the Install New Add-on page, I have to choose Install file from server and type: /www/library/EWRporta/addon-EWRporta.xml
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Question: what do I do with the rest of the contents that I have downloaded?

You are correct.
Except, the XML file path would be library/EWRporta/addon-EWRporta.xml
That, or you could just browse for it on your computer (probably easier).
EWRPorta includes a js, library and styles folder plus a file called donation_callback.php.
All of these need to be uploaded to your www folder.
No need to do them separately, just drag and drop them all into your www folder on your FTP client.
