Hi

Locate Newspaper-tf folder on your computer and unzip js_composer.zip file: http://screencast.com/t/1tHBWGzmWU
Next try to login on the server via ftp, navigate to your-wp-install/wp-content/plugins and delete js_composer folder if there exist one then upload js_composer folder. After this process is completed go to dashboard and activate the plugin, it should work fine now.
Before making any changes in your site make sure you do a full backup to your current wp-install and the database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups

Hope this helps.
Thanks!
