This is probably the part of the guide you're not seeing. Don't worry, I couldn't see it either and it was there the whole time, so don't feel bad:

There is a link to a template on that page you can use to help with copy/paste the file.

For packing the files into a PBO/mod, I use this tool:

I'm not an ORBAT expert, but if you get stuck with how to use the PBO Manager tool, I can help with that. Though it's pretty simple. Put the files you want in a folder. Then open PBO Manager, find the folder you want to pack as a PBO, right click on it, select the PBO Manager option, then pack the file as a PBO.

You should never put anything in your Arma 3\Addons folder. All mods either manually downloaded, or made by you in this case, go directly in the Arma 3 folder itself.

A good rule of thumb is to place an @ symbol in the mod's folder name. For instance, if you decided to download ALiVE from let's say Armaholic, the mod folder would be named @ALiVE. All mods you download are named this way. So name yours @whateveryouwant

Anyway, place the mod in the correct place and see if it works and delete anything you might have added in the Arma 3\Addons folder. All mods go in steam\steamapps\commom\Arma 3

That's correct, if it shows in the launcher it's all good. :)

Your ORBAT mod doesn't go in your Addons folder. It goes in your Arma 3 folder in program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 3

And if you put anything inside the Addons folder, remove it. Users should never put anything in Addons folder.

Ok well I'd assume you had Arma 3 installed to the default location. Regardless, you're looking for the steam\steamapps\common\arma 3 path.

No, the mod folder @mymodname goes inside the Arma 3 folder. Then, launch the game in steam. Then click on the local mod option in the top section of the launcher. Find @mymodname. Click on it and hit ok. The launcher will ask if you want to load the mod. Say yes. You'll now see your ORBAT mod in the launcher's mod tab and it will be ready to go for when you play the game.

That will work. In the launcher, there is an option to load a locally added mod. You'll see it at the top of the launcher. Click that and find the @mod you put in your Arma 3 folder, select the @mod folder, then click ok. The launcher will ask if you want to load the you just selected, click yes. The mod will be added to your "mods" list in your launcher.

Lets clear some stuff up. Where are you and what are you stuck on going by the list on the wiki?

1. In the ORBAT Creator, click Generate Config to copy the code to the clipboard.
2. Download the addon template from ALiVE github here and unzip it.
3. In the file browser, open addons/test/autogen.hpp and paste the copied code.
4. Use a pbo tool to pack the test folder into a pbo
5. Rename the pbo to your chosen faction name and place it in the folder @myfaction/addons/myfaction.pbo
6. Move your new @myfaction to the ArmA3 folder and run it like any other mod.
7. Load up Eden and check that your new faction is showing in the list correctly.

^^^ Also wondering where we are in the mission making process too TBH. Even if he packs the mod correctly and loads it correctly, if he hadn't added the faction name properly to the mission itself, it wouldn't work even if he made the ORBAT mod properly.

The quick start section of the ALiVE wiki is worth reading if you haven't and are new to ALiVE mission making:

The faction groups should show in the editor though. If everything is done properly that is.

Put the @mod folder on Dropbox and put the link here so someone can look at your files.

Don't pack it as a PBO. Right click on the mod folder and click 'send to compressed zip file' or whatever the send to zip file option is. The folder will have a zipper thing over it if you chose the correct option. Post that compressed zip file on Dropbox then share the link back here.
