How to create a HD slider for my landing page

How do I add a image slider equivalent to today's HD landing pages? Java script? I've downloaded some different variations however don't understand how to implement these onto my sites, with my choice of images. I'm looking for the simple fade in/out of possible 3-5 images with either arrows on either side of the screen or bullets centered under the slider. Very common on many sites and not so easy to create here.... Please advise.
