With a slap stapler or hammer stapler. Start at the bottom of your wall and start unrolling. Keep the paper tight and staple as you go. When starting the next course, overlap the bottom layer by three inches or so and continue on. In some areas, building codes dictate the use of plastic cap nails. On seams use tyvek tape to seal the two sheets, and also around windows and doors.
Note: Be sure to put it right side up, so it look like you knew what you were doing. Good Luck.

if u plan on installing a lot of it get u some " button tabs" and use them in combination with the staples......use the buttons on the corners and every 8 ft to prevent blow off and keep it tight.......
