Are you looking to install a vapor barrier on the ground, crawl space walls, basement walls, under the floor or ?????
Easiest is on the ground. Just lay down a layer of plastic, which is sold for that purpose. You can cut pieces to size with a pair of ordinary scissors. Put a couple of bricks or rocks on the corners to hold it in place. (Don't use untreated wood - that encourages termites.)
