Newbie question about livecycle data services es

Question

Hi all.
i've downloaded the LiveCycle ES2 VMware virtual appliance, setup it up on a esxi server, workspace, content space, all are up and running, but here comes my question, how do i install livecycle data services in there?how do i set it up to start working with the rest?
i've read the documentation on how to install, but i'm a bit confused.
can anyone give me any pointers about this?
help would be appreciated
thanks in advance

1) In Workbench ES2 create a process to create a new user. If you need to create a group there is also a service to create group. Create a short-lived process using the Avoka service > Create User operation. The Create User operation has the inputs depicted below.
2) Create a process variable called 'newUserXml' of type 'xml' and declare the variable as input. Ideally, create a schema for the xml.
3) The Create User operation has a single output, a string containing the user ID. Create a process variable called 'userID' of type 'string' and declare the variable as output.
3) Save, check-in, and deploy the process.
4) To test the process, invoke the process from the Workbench. For the input variable, plug data into an xml structure such as this...
<NewUser>
<Login/>
<Password/>
<CommonName/>
<CanonicalName/>
<Description/>
<Email/>
<Initials/>
<OrgName/>
<Address/>
<Telephone/>
</NewUser>
5) If the test succeeds, you are ready to create the Flex application. If not, figure out why.
6) Build a Flex app. Once you deployed the process, the remoting endpoint is automatically created and can be accessed by Flex. Here is a stub.
