What exactly did you not understand?
Please try to ask specific questions.

Installation
Once you have downloaded the latest snort release, its time for it to install it at you box.
#tar -xvzf /<download-path>/snort-2.6.0.tar.gz -C /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
#cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/snort-2.6.0
#./conifigure
#make
#make install
Thats it !
But if you find some errors during the compilation, maybe your system could be missing some libraries needed or libraries installed at some other location than the default one. Correct it by mentioning "--with-libpcap-includes=DIR" (libpcap include directory) with ./configure. Or install the appropriate respectively prior to the installation of snort.


1. You got to download the rules from snort (website).
2. Now you got to install them at your box.
3. Now locate your snort.conf // find / -name snort.conf
4. And then edit it & modify var RULE_PATH /path-of-your-rules-folder
5. And to run it in NIDS mode
./snort -vde -l /<path-to-log> -h <your_home_network>/mask -c ../snort.conf


O boy; now thts an ask, why dont you read the official HOW-TO.
