You make your own "ScriptingAdditions" folder (no space!) in either or both
of [OS X Hard Disk]/Library/ or [OS X Hard Disk]/Users/[you]/Library/.
The former has scope over all OS X users on your computer, the latter on
just your user. (It makes good sense to put scripting additions into your
local user ScriptingAdditions folder in case you need to test scripts in a
"pure" environment in another user.)
The one place you can't put or make anything is in [OS X Hard
Disk]/System/Library/ - that's owned by the system, not you. Just leave
that one alone.
If you are administrator of your computer, you should be able to make
[OS X Hard Disk]/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ if you want to (I recommend
otherwise). If you can't, go to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/First
Aid, and Repair Disk Permissions. Similarly if you can't make or put
anything here:
[OS X Hard Disk]/Users/[you]/Library/ ScriptingAdditions/ . I recommend
this one.
