The Cloudflare origin certificate is typically provided in a PEM format (a .pem file) which includes the certificate itself and the private key. You'll also get the root and intermediate certificates. Installation varies depending on your origin server (e.g., Apache, Nginx, IIS). You'll need to configure your web server to use these files for SSL/TLS encryption. Consult your web server documentation for specific installation instructions.
