In general make sure that the following things are set up correctly for the Track:
1) Correct MIDI input selected
2) Record-Arm button enabled
3) Input-Monitoring set correctly
Otherwise inserting a plugin via
Insert -> Virtual instrument on a Track should automatically take care of the Track settings. So in this case it's usually only necessary to adjust the MIDI input for the Track, if needed.
As Sibben already mentioned, have a look at chapter 3 (Recording Audio and MIDI) in the User Guide:

In addition, check out this video:

Also keep in mind that some Reaktor instruments/ensembles are set up by default to receive MIDI only on MIDI channel 1.
In this case make sure your MIDI keyboard/device sends MIDI on channel 1 as well. Or change the incoming MIDI channel inside the Reaktor instrument/ensemble to receive MIDI either from all channels (= OMNI) or the same MIDI channel your MIDI device is using.
If this doesn't solve the problem, please post more details about what exactly isn't working.
As example:
- Which MIDI device or keyboard are you using?
- Can you load the Reaktor plugin into a Track inside Reaper?
- Which Reaktor ensemble/instrument do you have loaded inside Reaktor?
- Do you see any meter activity on the Reaktor Track, but can't hear any sound?
- and so on ...
