Put it in place in your /boot directory, add its modules to your
/lib/modules hierarchy, maybe make an approprate ramdisk image if you
use ramdisks to boot, and add the appropriate stanza to whatever your
boot loader config file is, and maybe run whatever your boot loader
installer is.

Uh ... that's not a function of the kernel but of the kernel DRIVER you
use. You can choose to install a new driver, not a new kernel.

The procedure depends on you and your circumstances and choices. What
boot loader have you preferred to use, for example? Well, whatever it
is, read its instructions, and do the appropriate thing .. there's
really no need to treat a little thing like an additional kernel in its
boot menu as a great difficulty!
