Installation of the Xposed framework:

1. Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it

2. Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"

3. Reboot 

   4.Done!

You can verify this by starting the Xposed Installer again and making sure that the numbers in the "Framework" section are green.
If app_process jumped back to an older version (or none at all), you probably have a ROM with S-On or similar, which reverts any changes to /system after a reboot. Use installation via recovery in such cases.

Installation of any modules:

1. Download <module>.apk (e.g. via the builtin repository browser) and install it
2. Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" section (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
3. Enable the module by checking the checkbox
4. Reboot
5. Done!

Enjoy!
