You simply need WhatsApp installed and working on your phone and Mac OS X 10.9 or later.Using the desktop version on your Mac is easy; as soon as you have downloaded and installed the app, you simply need to scan the QR code on the screen with your phone using WhatsApp (Open WhatsApp, click Menu and select WhatsApp Web).
