"sudo apt-get install cron" will install cron just fine if you have your apt sources.list set up.
From there you can use the cron gui you mentioned, or run "crontab -e" at the command line to edit your personal cron file. Keep in mind that that will open vi as a file editor which might be a bit confusing if you haven't used it before. (as a very quick intro, hit "i" to start editing, then "esc" when you are done and :wq to save the file and quit. :q! will save and ditch your changes). When you quit it will tell, you something about "installing new crontab" and you should be good to go.
