Take each shower ring and insert it into each of the shower curtain holes. Usually this entails popping open the rings and slipping them through the holes, then popping them back into place.

Push on the two rubber or plastic circle caps that come with the shower curtain rod. These secure onto each end of the rod, providing resistance against the wall so the shower rod will stay securely up on the wall. Make sure each cap is on correctly and tightly. For each brand or type of curtain rod, instructions may vary.

Life the shower rod with the hanging curtain up to the point where you want the shower rod to stick. This should be high enough so that the curtain does not touch the floor, but it should be lower than the top edge of the bath tub. Tightly press one side of the rod to the wall, then slide the other side with the cap into place. Adjust the rod as necessary to make it tight enough so it will not fall when touched or pulled upon.
