Now that you have all that information on how to know if your eligible you will need to acquire the forms needed to fill out to apply. All the forms are on the website which is http://www.uscis.gov.

Visit the site and read up more on how much the fees are for what documents you will need when applying.

All the forms have an instruction form so if you have no idea what to do or want to be sure when filling out the form print the instruction forms as well. They are very detailed so no need to worry about making a mistake.

Now something that some people think they may need is an attorney to fill out the forms which is NOT necessary. However you can use an attorney to double check the forms after you fill them out just to make sure if you don't feel like you have filled them out correctly. Usually people fill out these forms with ease, save money and fill out the forms yourself rather than turn to an attorney who doesn't even fill them out, they use there assistant and charge very high.  

Well that's pretty much it, good luck on receiving your Permanent Resident/Green Card.
