Second row center console

I have a 2009 Tahoe and I am trying to figure out how to install the center console in the second row seat area. I bought the console from Jeg.com and was instructed to go to a site that was for employees to get the instruction. Needless to the console is not installed. I just need to know if I am supposed to cut the carpet cover so the console fits between the seats or if there is some other way to do it, without spending more money to take my truck into Chevy.
