A launcher is just an alternate home screen, really. If you downloaded it from the market, it should already be installed. Just hit the "Home" button, and there'll be a choice to use LauncherPro instead of the home screen that came with your phone. Fiddle around with the settings on LauncherPro a bit (like always, the menu button is a key to many doors), and try it out.
