It’s really easy! I wait a few days until the skin starts to dry out, then peel it off. I peel it the same way I peel hard-boiled eggs - under cold running water. Then, take three toothpicks and insert into the seed in equal (or close) distances and about 1/3 from the top. Keep it in water until the seed starts to sprout from the bottom. This isn’t a quick process! It’s taken a couple of months at times for the seed to sprout a root. After a while (another long while!) it will beg to sprout a green stem (trunk?). I’ve kept mine in water for years before, but transplanting them to soil in a pot, or outside if you live in a warm climate, is best. I’ve always brought mine inside when it starts to get cold and they do just fine inside. In the spring, out they go again! Just remember to change the water frequently so it doesn’t get yucky. (How old am I... yucky?). Good luck. They’re fun to grow, but don’t count on ever getting an avocado from your tree! It won’t happen.
It is really easy! See if this helps.

I have "rooted" the seed in water, suspending the seed (if you have a large mouth container) with 3 toothpicks. After roots have developed and the seed has sprouted, I usually transfer to pot with soil. Look for other methods on the internet.
Put 3 toothpicks in the seed around the middle to support it over a glass of water.
