Let me walk you thru it. First include it in your webpage with the usual script tag
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.qrcode.min.js"></script>
Then create a DOM element which gonna contains the generated qrcode image. Lets say a div

Then you add the qrcode in this container by
jquery('#qrcode').qrcode("this plugin is great");
This is it. see it live.
You can set the height and width of the generated qrcode:
