How do I use the "lightbox module"

Hi,

im again a bit stupid. I just don´t know, how I can use the lightbox-module.

I read the instructions given with the module, but im still confused.

it says:
How Do I Use It

To use it you need three tags to be placed somewhere in your output:

    * {LightBox action='css'} - Output the css tag required for lightbox
    * {LightBox action='js'} - Output the javascript tags required for lightbox
    * {LightBox image='imagefile.gif'} - Repeat as many times as necessary to create image popups

where do I have to put this?
At the metadata for smarty-options? At the normal metadata-field? Or anywhere else?

Do I have to install (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox) first? Or does it come with the module?

And how do I call it to work for a picture?

How should a normal -call look like ? I tried with "rel=lightbox". but I don´t even know what Im really doing because another question is:

Does this create a thumbnail? Do I have to put it around a thumbnail and call the "big version" of the picture inside the lightbox?

Thanks for any help, to  "lighten" (ha ha ha) me up,
Marc
