There are no npm modules yet published for Hydrogen. The easiest is probably to setup your website project, do yarn/npm init if you haven't yet, then add the hydrogen repo as a git http dependency, and import the files/classes you want to use from Hydrogen. Hydrogen aims to be usable as an SDK, and while it is still early days, you can find some documentation how to do that in [SDK.md](SDK.md).
For example, for a single room chat, you could create an instance of `Platform`, you create a new `SessionContainer` with it, call `startWithLogin` on it, observe `sessionContainer.loadStatus` to know when initial sync is done, then do `sessionContainer.session.rooms.get('roomid')` and you create a `RoomViewModel` with it and pass that to a `RoomView`. Then you call `document.appendChild(roomView.mount())` and you should see a syncing room.
Feel free to ask for pointers in #hydrogen:matrix.org as the documentation is still lacking considerably. Note that at this early, pre 1.0 stage of the project, there is no promise of API stability yet.
Also, to make end-to-end encryption work, you'll likely need some tweaks to your build system, see [this issue](https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/issues/467).
