There's a Mitzva to count 7 week from the time the Omer sacrifice was brought in the Bet Hamikdash.
The Omer is counted every night, starting from the second night of Pessach - 16 Nissan.
One needs to count both days and week.
The counting should be done standing, and a Bracha is said beforehand.
Applies to males, everywhere, always.
Verse: "Count 7 complete weeks" (Vayikra 23:15)
