1. as for installing contrib - usually when you install psotgresql from
prebuilt binary packages, there is also contrib package. for example on
ubuntu it is postgresql-contrib-8.2, so simple: apt-get install
postgresql-contrib-8.2 will install it.
as for installation in sql - for every contrib module you get sql
script. it is usually called <contrib_module>.sql (pgcrypto.sql).
usually it's in: <PREFIX>/share/postgresql/contrib/pgcrypto.sql
in the database you want to use pgcrypto functions, you simply run this
sql (as superuser), and that's all.
