you need a headset press. you CAN do it with a rubber mallet or some wood or w.e.....

BUT

if youve never seen one put in in person the 'right way' its hard to replicate that without the right tool. you can make a press with 5 dollars worth of parts from home depo. but you still need to be very carefull if youve never done it before.

if u dont put it in right...the cups wont sit on there straight and they can  mess up the headtube.

you can get an threaded rod...or even an axle. and then put some washers and then tighten it down with some bolts to try to replicate a headset press

=== is the axle, O a nut, | a washer,  [   ] the headtube, and } { being the cups at the top and bottom of the headtube
=O=|=}[      ]{=|=O

you should give taking it to a bike shop a try if u have everything taken a part and its just a matter of pressing the cups in it should be no big deal
