Depends on how you want to get it done. There are a few options, but here are the necessary steps.

1. Cut the hole for the window if you haven't already.

Now you can choose how you want to install it. I used foamy tape for sticking house numbers to the outside of your house, and that worked great. You can also screw it on and silicon gel/epoxy (or whatever it's called) it on (easiest ways I guess).

2. Cut the plexi with a little overlap on the panel on all sides (i.e. if the panel was cut 25cm. x 25 cm., cut the plexi 26 x 26 so you can stick it on).

3. Use your preferred method for putting it on. In the case of the foam tape, simply cut the tape to the right size (you'll probably have to cut it down the middle too, because it's pretty thick, width wise) and stick it to the panel. Then stick the plexi on top of that, rest heavy books on the taped part for an hour or so, and you're done. For the screws, just drill the holes, and screw it on. For the silicon gel/epoxy put a thin line on the panel, put on the panel, and put heavy books on it. Then, you can put it around the edges if you think it needs it.

Hope that helped ya, and good luck!
