First Of All i suggest to create a helper function to configure your pagination like this. You gotta find out from codeigniter documention for the option purpose in config

if (!function_exists('getPaginationConfig')) {
    function getPaginationConfig($url,$total_row,$per_page,$num_links=3){
            $config = array();
            $config['use_page_numbers'] = TRUE;
            $config['uri_segment'] = 3;// depends on how you passing your page number
            $config['base_url'] = $url;
            $config['total_rows'] = $total_row;
            $config['per_page'] = $per_page; 
            $config['full_tag_open'] = '
';
            $config['full_tag_close'] = '
';
            $config['cur_tag_open'] = '
';
            $config['cur_tag_close'] = '
';
            $config['num_tag_open'] = '
';
            $config['num_tag_close'] = '
';
            $config['next_tag_open'] = '
';
            $config['next_tag_close'] = '
';
            $config['prev_tag_open'] = '
';
            $config['prev_tag_close'] = '
';
            $config['first_link'] = '<<';
            $config['first_tag_open'] = '
';
            $config['first_tag_close'] = '
';
            $config['last_link'] = '>>';
            $config['last_tag_open'] = '
';
            $config['last_tag_close'] = '
';
            $config['num_links'] = $num_links;

     return $config;        
   }
}

Now On Controller .. you need to get total rows from database and set the perpage in pagination and call with the config here is an example of controller function

 function getMyList($page){
        $limit = YOUR_PAGE_LIMIT;//may be some global variable or input from frontend
        $starting = ($page-1)*$limit;

        $data['results']  = $this->your_model->getListOfTable($where,$limit,$starting);
        $total_rows = $this->your_model->getTotalRowsOfTable($where);// where is filter condition

        $this -> load -> helper('your_helper');// where yours getPaginationConfig is defined
        $this -> load -> library('pagination');
        $this -> pagination -> initialize(getPaginationConfig(site_url('controller/function'), $total_rows,$limit));
        $data['pagination'] = $this -> pagination -> create_links();
        $this->load->view('yourview',$data);

Your model may look like this

function getListOfTable($where = array(), $limit, $starting = 0) {
        $this -> db -> select('*');
        // <-- There is never any reason to write this line!
        $this -> db -> from('your_tables');
        if (!empty($where))
           $this -> db -> where($where);
        $this -> db -> limit($limit, $starting);
        $query = $this -> db -> get();

        if ($query -> num_rows() > 0) {
            return $query -> result();
        } else {
            return FALSE;
        }
    }

function getTotalRowsOfTable($where = array()){
    if (!empty($data))
         $this -> db -> where($where);
    $this -> db -> from('your_table');
    return $this -> db -> count_all_results();

}

Now On View you just need to echo the pagination where you like
