Even if you can't quite tune a guitar perfectly by ear, tuning a guitar is one of the simplest things to do - whether you have a tuner to hand or not.

Lesson on How to Tune the Guitar for Beginners
Tune Your Guitar By Ear
RP: 4th string [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 5th fret
Electric guitars tuners have jack inputs so they all work the same: plug the guitar into the tuner, pluck each string and the tuner's display will indicate how sharp/flat the note is.
Using a Guitar Tuner
The method is pretty much the same throughout the process [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the only difference is where to find the reference pitch (RP). Once the 6th string is tuned, the 5th string can be adjusted - this string is 'A' - the 5th fret on the 6th string is also an 'A' so this will be used as the reference pitch (RP). Hold down the 5th fret on the 6th string, pluck it, then pluck the 5th string open immediately afterwards. Turn the corresponding tuning peg until the tones match.
For acoustic guitars, there are two options. A microphone tuner receives the sound of each string as it is plucked and indicates how close it is to the correct pitch. This can be unreliable in environments where there is background noise. The other option is a clip on tuner - this relies on the vibration caused by each string so the accuracy is higher and it can be used in any environment.
Manual Tuning vs. Guitar Tuners
RP: 2nd string, 5th fret
In this technique, each string is tuned to match the corresponding note on a different string - for example, the 6th string and the 1st string are both 'E', once one is tuned, the other can be tuned by matching the tones. It sounds confusing at first, but it really is a piece of cake.
4th String - D
RP: 6th string, 5th fret
Manual Guitar Tuning
Once the process is complete, check that 1st and 6th strings are the same tone, if they are then the guitar is likely to be perfectly in tune. If not, go through the steps once again.
2nd String - B
1st String - E
5th String - A
RP: 3rd string, 4th fret
Which method a guitarist uses is purely based on personal preference, both options have their benefits and are both reliable. In saying that, it's probably a good idea to learn how to tune manually in case a situation arises where a tuner isn't available.
The first thing to do is to get a reference pitch (RP); this can be from another tuned guitar, a piano, a tuner etc. The idea is to get the low 'E' string (aka 6th string) sounding exactly the same as the reference pitch. To do this, pluck the string and slowly turn the corresponding tuning peg until it sounds right.
Various free tuners can be found online. These tuners usually play a midi version of each string sound and the guitarist must rely on his/her ear to tune the strings accordingly
This continues on each of the strings with an almost identical pattern throughout. Here are the notes:
3rd String - G
RP: 5th string, 5th fret
Not all guitar tuners are the same but they're all easy to work. The visual elements of tuners vary; some have a needle which centres when the pitch is correct, some have LED lights which indicate whether the note is too sharp [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too flat or on point, and some display the note on screen. There are others which can be connected to a computer for maximum precision but these are top of the price range and aren't exactly necessary.
