If you have a luandry room I have found that is the best place to hook it up. Get a water hose y adapter and screw it to the cold water side of the washing machine hookup then hook your RO to one side and your washing machine back up to the other. Throw the waste line down the drain standpipe (the one the washing machine drain goes down) and your done hooking it up with no modifications to the existing plumbing.
If your RO dosn't already have a waterhose adapter then you will have to get the stuff at your harware store to adapt it.

if you do it that way just let me suggest a closing valve, like on the Y splitter. That way you can turn it off for maintenance or should anything happen, etc.
