Have no idea how to install this. What tools do I need and how do I install this.

The black pieces are to dial in the chainline --> One black piece, cog, other black piece, little silver piece, insert wheel, see if chain looks straight, if chain is straight then ride, otherwise disassemble and switch black pieces and/or move front ring to the inside/outside, put wheel back on and check chainline.

Hold on just a minute now, the two black spacers and cog are fine. But that lockring is NOT for the freewheel body that you have.
It looks more like a lockring for a track hub (track bikes, fixie bikes)
As mentioned earlier, the two black pieces are to dial in the chainline but you need a proper lockring for your hub. Get back to the shop where you bought this stuff and replace the lockring.
The one you need should look a bit like this:
Edit: You require a lockring tool to install it, and a chain whip in combination with the lockring tool to remove it again. If you don't want to spend your $$$ on tools, ask you local bike shop to install this for you.
When setting the cog on the freewheel, the chain line should be as close to perfectly straight as possible, if unsure about all this, your bike shop should be able to help you out.

Thanks. I had a feeling that the ring was wrong. I picked up the right one yesterday.
