How to install the sample databases?

I've downloaded the sample databases, but I'm having difficulty installing them. There don't seem to be any installation files and if I try attaching the .mdf files in SQL Server Management Studio, it fails. Am I missing something?

I have the same problem. They are a .bak file so I tried changing that to a .mdf but didn't work.

I also am having trouble restoring from the .bak file in the download. Is there a link or read me txt I missed?
