You have to first determine that you have a ground to connect to. If you
have a ground via metal cable, you connect a ground wire with 10/32 screw
from your box to the ground screw on the outlet, or in some cases you can
use a self grounding outlet. If you have a nm cable with ground, the ground
should already be connected to the box, if metal, and again, you connect a
ground wire from box to outlet
