Have you read this blog post. There is no installation process for Aikau. You can just drop any Aikau JAR into the WEB-INF/lib folder of Share. JARs can be downloaded from here.
If you're building an AMP file then you should just declare the version of Aikau that you want to use as a Maven dependency. The Alfresco SDK is an ideal way to build AMPs and comes with support for Aikau built in.

Ok thank you for the response. How then shall it appear on Alfresco repository? In the lib folder there is an aikau jar file, but i cant access it from my alfresco repository. When you install 5.1 latest its already included.. – coolman Apr 14 '16 at 13:13

Aikau should not be placed in the WEB-INF/lib folder of the "alfresco" WAR - it does not run on the Repository application, it is used by the Share application (so should be placed in the share.war). I don't understand what you mean by "I can't access it" - how are you trying to access it? – Dave Draper Apr 14 '16 at 13:26

Thanks Dave. I was hoping to see it on the alfresco main menu. How can I access it ? – coolman Apr 14 '16 at 13:37

What are you hoping to see exactly? What are you trying to access? Aikau is a UI framework that you can use to develop pages for Alfresco... the header bar is created via Aikau as is the search page. – Dave Draper Apr 14 '16 at 13:53

I would suggest that you work through the Aikau tutorial on GitHub https://github.com/Alfresco/Aikau/blob/master/tutorial/chapters/Contents.md and read back through my blog posts to get a good understand of what it is all about https://www.alfresco.com/blogs/developer/author/ddraper/ – Dave Draper Apr 14 '16 at 14:21
