You need to run importDump.php from your maintenance folder.

php importDump.php < dumpfile.xml

Do it multiple times, once for each .xml file. It may take a while.

If the articles you are importing have links to images, you will need also to upload them to your server and run importImages.php as well, otherwise they will all become red links.
