If your theme is not widget enabled, you may not be able to use the plugin you want.
Some plugins allow you to add their functionality to static/non-widget pages by dropping in some PHP like < ?php plugin_function(); ?>, but not all are coded that way.
Try contacting the author of your particular plugin to see if this is possible (or read the documentation). You may need to use a different plugin, or have someone write a custom one for you.

You need to use Text widget for your own widget code..you don’t have to have a widget ready theme for that.. all you need is a sidebar in the theme and add the text widget in the sidebar.. and add your code in that text widget..
widgets can be configured in wp-admin panel

Is your theme widget-aware? Some of the older ones don’t understand widgets.
Does the widget work on posts (as distinguished from pages)?
