Python scripts can be ASCII text files. Open Notepad app on PC, copy/paste script lines. Save As file with any name, but make sure the extension of the file .py

iClone does not yet fully support alembic import. So you may not bring the mesh along with simulation at this time. 
What it does support as I have shown, is importing alembic simulation alone (just animation) onto the prop which you need to import by any other means.

So you import the object as a prop first, and then from alembic file (which contains the mesh and simulation) you import simulation only and apply to imported object via Python script.

There are couple of reasons it is not working

1. Make sure your "ocean" prop is set as a soft cloth while you are running the script. After you run the script you may disable it.

2. Make sure the alembic file you are importing the animation from has exact the same prop as you have it in iClone

3. It is a good practice to have the mesh name of the prop in iClone and mesh name of the prop in the alembic file be the same and have the same letter case

If you check the video from earlier, he has the slashes in the path "/" rather than"\".
