Installation of tile on a stair rise is very easy, however it is based off what is currently on the step rise as well as the material you are looking to install. A tile trades person will know (and have the appropriate installation material and tools), or if you are planning to install yourself most home improvement stores will be able to direct you.

Yes, I agree with cjudson 5, your application depends on what is already on the tread and the new material you are using.
