I want to create an application independent, but to use Alfresco as document repository.
To create folders and search in it, and can to put files on repository.
How can I do this?

You would install alfresco repository, and expose all the actions you need as Web Scripts. Then from your client you can make web script calls into the repository.  The web scripts that ship with Alfresco already will get you quite far - they have functionality for viewing repository spaces, documents, etc.   I am sure you'll need to add some more based on what you need. 

By the way, the plan for version 3.0 is to also separate the web UI and the core repository in the same exact way - this would decouple the UI and the backend repository.

So,how can I install alfresco repository???How can I know it actions?Can I customize the Web Scripts?How can I make web scripts calls from my aplication, by URL (Is it only way??)
I would like to create an aplication and to use just Alfresco repository to provide management of folders (categorys) and to use index files services and store files.
Can I do this just using Web Scripts?Can you show me the way?Examples?

Alfresco repository is installed when you install alfresco.   I am not sure what you mean "how can I know its actions". 

Web Scripts are normal REST-based Web Services, so you make calls to them like you call normal html pages, by URL. 

Documentation on Web Scripts can be found here, it should answer a lot of questions for you:
  http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts

There are numerous examples of web scripts provided with Alfresco distributions.  you can also take a look at the iGoogle integration as well - has some good web script examples there.

Are there any scripts that be util to search and index documents?
Define new categorys and spaces in repository?
What's better?Web scripts or web services?What's easier to extend?
I want say with "how can I know its actions" as are there any way that I know wich actions/scripts are done?
Could you give a example, that how can I to create a service to define news categorys in my Alfresco repository?
My doubts today are:

* How can I do my aplication to comunicate with Alfresco repository;
* How can my aplication can to use alfresco search (to make searchs in repository, with same features from Alfresco, like a alfresco search, but running in my aplication, example, define wich category and the "subject" and submit search, and my aplication mount query and forward to Alfresco that return all documents are in the query)
* How my aplication can define news spaces and new categorys;
* How can recovery documents;
* What's better way?WebScripts or web services?Way easier, less hard….
