The question is a bit too broad and it'll be hard to help you out in detail. However, if you try to develop a custom activity for Journey Builder, I put together an example and documented the steps you need to do before using it.

This is example code for a custom split activity for journey builder, that reads data from Sales/Service Cloud: Salesforce Marketing Cloud - Service Cloud Custom Split Activity

According to Salesforce the prerequisites for developing a custom activity are the following:

• A working knowledge of RequireJS for dependency management
• A working knowledge of jQuery
• An understanding of the Postmonger event framework
• Access to a Marketing Cloud account with a fully provisioned and operational Journey Builder instance
• An understanding of how journeys function in Journey Builder

(Source: Salesforce Developer Documentation - Build Custom Activities and Events)

In short you need to do the following things:

1. Set up a package in Marketing Cloud App Center
2. Build the Activity
   • Configuration
   • User Interface
   • Activity JavaScript (Communication between Journey Builder and the activity itself)
   • Backend that handles subscribers reaching your activity
3. Host the activity on a web server

Before starting you might like to read the following documentation articles, that cover quite a bit of that topic:

• Create a Marketing Cloud App
• Extend Journey Builder
• Build Custom Activities and Events
