Jaime has given one technique.  Another technique is to use the inversion
formula

x(n) = 1/(2*%pi*%i)*contour(X(z)*z^(n-1),z)

where contour is the the contour integral over any closed curve containing
all of the poles of X(z).  Using complex number theory, this can be reduced
to

x(n) = sum(residue(X(z)*z^(n-1),z, p))

where the sum is over all of the poles, p, of X(z).

As an example, let X(z) = z/(z-1/2).  X(z) has one pole at z=1/2 so, using
maxima:

(%o1) xn : residue(z/(z-1/2)*z^(n-1),z,1/2);
(%i1) 1/2^n
(%o2) plot2d([discrete,
makelist(k,k,0,10),makelist(subst(n=k,xn),k,0,10)],[style, points]);

Another way is to note that to find the inverse transform, we want to
express X(z) in a Laurent series.  Maxima can do that to:

(%o1) powerseries(z/(z-1/2), z, inf);
(%i1) 2*sum(2^(-i1-1)/z^(i1), i1, 0, inf)

I leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out how to extract the
coefficient of each power of z^(-n) to get x(n). :-)

A google search will give you several other techniques that can be used to
find the inverse transform.
