How do I use PKGBUILD files?

Pardon my stupidity, I've been reading the wiki but I have no idea what to do with this file. I'm trying to download this
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46810 .
But I have no idea what to do.

Read the wiki article on the AUR BEFORE asking these sort of questions please. If you still don't understand ask for specific help rather than saying 'don't know what to do'. The instructions there should be clear enough.

Have you read the makepkg article in the wiki?

I think this AUR article might answer the mail also.
