From the readme:
===== About War3Source (W3S) ======
War3Source (W3S) brings the Warcraft 3 leveling style and races into the game.
It is originally based on the amxmodx (AMX) version War3FT.
Each standard race has total of 16 levels, made up of 3 skills and 1 ultimate
where each skill/ultimate can be leveled 4 times for a total of 16 levels.
Races are not restricted to this standard scheme, and can have up to 7 skills and over 9000 levels per skill
War3Source features a modular design where races can be coded independently and loaded into the main plugin.
There are also items in W3S as there are in all Warcraft mods.
War3Source is written in SourcePawn under the SourceMod extension.
War3Source is not WCS (warcraft-source), and we ask that you do not call it
or refer to it as WCS (or even just "warcraft source") for any reason.
W3S and WCS are similar such as they can feature the same races and they bring forth the same style of gameplay,
but they are two completely different projects.
War3Source offerers unbeatable performance and quality under SourcePawn and involves more interaction between races,
and has a buff/debuff system where races are expected to respect other race's buffs and debuffs.
It is not clear whether W3S or WCS came first (but it does not matter since everyone copied from War3FT)
W3S was originally founded by Anthony (AKA "pimpinjuice") and is also the founder of superhero mod (SH).
Yi (Derek) Luo (AKA "Ownage | Ownz") (DarkEnergy) is the second developer of War3Source and took over primary developer after Anthony went AWOL.

download the correct version (likely CSS/TF2/DODS)
DO NOT USE COMMAND SPAMMING KICKER ON YOUR SERVER! WAR3SOURCE IS COMMAND INPUT INTENSIVE!
We do not recomend strict sv_pure. You should know what you are doing if you are using sv_pure.
If you are upgrading from a previous version,
you may not have to do all of the below...just upload new files / changes you want to apply.
It is recommended to always overwrite all old compiled races and main war3source.smx.
(if you already have your config files modified, apply changes appropriately)
It is recommended to always update translations folder, gamedata folder, and sounds folder.
Each version may have specific installation instructions, please read the release notes (the topic on the release) and the changelog (.txt)
-----------------
The breakdown:
Put stuff in the 'addons' beings in your 'addons' folder
Put stuff in 'compiled' beings in your 'addons/sourcemod/plugins/war3source' (i highly recommend its own folder within the plugins folder)
Put stuff in 'sound' beings in your 'sound' folder (always overwrite all on this one)
If you have a fast download mirror, put 'sound' into the appropriate location on your fast download mirror
(Advanced users only
If you wish to customize the races or add custom races, put "*.sp" files and "W3SIncs" in your designated programming (scripting) folder
---------------
NOTE: you may overwrite the files while the server is running. Make sure you "sm plugins unload_all" and then change the map OR do a hard boot after you have uploaded
the new files. Otherwise server may crash while unloading and loading the new version at the same time.
War3Source will execute /cfg/war3source.cfg (case sensitive on linux) ONCE, after all races and items are loaded. You may put war3source specific cvars in here such as cooldowns etc
see war3source associated Cvars and Commands, use "cvarlist war3" on the server console
ALWAYS check your ERROR LOGS if war3source does not load correctly! Go to the forums for further help.
