Didn't it come with instructions?

Basically you should follow the wiring diagram on the ballast. Use the red, blue, and yellow wires as they are on the diagram and wire them up to the endcaps. If the wires aren't stripped at the ends, you'll need to do that before you insert the wires into the ballast and the end caps. No soldering is required.
