After a little bit of trial and error, you'll be good to go.
If you've got the Steam version of the game, the folder structure is a bit "deeper", under the Steam folder structure, but the easiest way is for you to take the JSGME program files, and put them in your game's base folder. On my SH4 install, I've got "C:\ Games \ SH4 \", so I put it in the SH4 folder, alongside where the Data folder is. When I run JSGME the first time, it creates a MODS folder, which is where I put the mod that I want to activate. So I have "C:\ Games \ SH4 \ MODS \ ModIwantToEnable \ Data..." etc structure. You have to check your mods' folder structure before activating them, to be certain that you have a Data folder just below the folder with the mod's name. Some of the mods come with multiple options, hence they have a different folder structure, and you have to check the ReadMe files for instructions. The JSGME User's Manual goes into greater detail, and tells you how to set the program up a couple-three ways...

Thanks propbeanie.

I forgot to mention that it is the Steam version that I have. I can now have a go at using the MODS.
Thanks again

Big question looms then, what folder did you install the game to? THEBERBSTER and others may have further advice about updating the game itself and other aspects. Anytime I go to do anything SH5, I have to read through THEBERBSTER's thread SH5 <> TUTORIALS <>HOW TO DO IT <> INFORMATION <> DOWNLOAD LINKS, especially on updating the game... go and be careful!

I installed it on C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
