Dependencies

Aside from nmrpulse.tar you'll need:

python
python imaging library - may or may not be present in your default python installation

Assuming that your wiki is up and running.

put nmrpulse.tar file into your mediawiki extensions directory
untar it
cd NMRPulse
download mimetex.zip
unzip it, compile, file mimetex.cgi must now be in extensions/NMRPulse directory
change directory to <wikiroot>/images.
mkdir NMRPulse
make it writable by the webserver
configure seq2png.py on lines 25 & 26 containing path and url of pulse sequence image directory
make file /tmp/error-output.txt writable by the webserver
add require_once("$IP/extensions/NMRPulse/NMRPulse.php"); in the end of your LocalSettings.php file
