Assuming you are using Debian and have access to an archive with software (a
set of CD's or an ftp connection to a server) it should be fairly easy to
get X up and running.
First of all you got to be root (su and enter password).
Then you want to install the task-x-window-system pseudo package which
installs a set of packages essential to X. So
apt-get install task-x-window-system-core
...or use dselect ("select", find the package with /, type + to mark it for
install, enter to proceed).
During the install you will probably be prompted to configure your X-server
(which handles making X show on your screen). For an easier to use
configuration tool you could try XF86Setup, which can be installed as
mentioned above as well.
Once X is up and running you would like a window manager. I suggest
WindowMaker (issue this command to install it : apt-get install wmaker).
Good luck!
