I should think the installation is fairly self-explanatory, i.e. dig a suitable hole, place the support in it, then pour Postcrete or similar quick-setting cement around it and pour water on.

A four inch concrete spur would last longer and provide more support to the post during high winds, provided you don't mind the aesthetics.
