The Squid packages available for Ubuntu already have those helpers
built-in and installed along with the package. All you need is the
configuration file changes.

If you are building your own Squid from raw source code, you may need to
add them.

For someone who does not know the very basics I would seriously advise
staying with the pre-packaged versions of Squid until you know what you
are doing.
   --> apt-get install squid

Then change the /etc/squid.conf file as needed.
