[Tex/LaTex] Skak Installation

chessinstallingskak

I want to put chess diagrams in a LaTeX file, and from what I can tell http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/chess/skak/ is the best way to do this. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to install the package. skakdoc.pdf gives you these directions:

Basically all you have to do is to follow the guidelines in the makefile. First you create all the required directories (stated in the install section of the makefile) and then you run the make install command.

The install section of the makefile says this: 

install: fonts doc
    install   skak*.600pk $(DESTPK)
    install   skak*.600gf $(DESTGF)
    install   skak*.tfm   $(DESTTFM)
    install   mf/skak*.mf    $(DESTSOURCE)
    install   tex/skak.sty    $(INPUTS)
    install   tex/lambda.sty  $(INPUTS)
    install   *.ps            $(DESTDOC)
    @echo "Remember to run texhash!"

I have no idea how to follow these instructions. Help?

Your TeX distribution probably has tools for installing packages, so you don't have to do it manually. MikTeX has the Package Manager, which you will find in the Start menu, while TeX Live has tlmgr.
