Installation procedure

People,

I'm a double newbie here.  First of all, I had to install Debian because
my Red Hat derivatives that I had been using wouldn't install comedi
properly.  Now I find that I'm not familiar enough with Debian to
accomplish an installation without assistance.  Question - just how do I
do a comedi installation under Debian?

First of all, is it necessary to update the kernel, or can I simply
install the kernel-headers - and again, just how do I do that?

I understand that the comedi installation proper requires that I compile
the package (which apparently is where I need the kernel-headers) before
I can build and test code using the drivers.

Also I need to install the comedilib(s).  Again, just how do I do that
under Debian?

Would _greatly_ appreciate assistance.
