If you mean installing a plug in your wall for the dryer, I advise calling an electrician unless you know someone who is very experienced and confident with electricity. A dryer requires 220 volts of electricity, twice what most home outlets deliver. A line has to be run from each side of your breaker box through the wall to the where you want the outlet to be (110 volts from each side of your breaker box). If you go to a large home/hardware store, they can show you the right plug to use. Again, electricity is very dangerous, especially when you are working directly with the service panel (breaker box) in your house. Please be safe.
