Just follow those instructions: they are mostly good. Except binary install did not work for me (at least not for kinetic), so I did a source install and build in 'catkin_ws'. Source is here:

You could use command similar to (or follow what is on the wiki):
sudo git clone --single-branch --branch melodic-devel https://github.com/SICKAG/sick_scan
The ROS driver for SICK uses the frame "cloud". It therefore proved necessary to provide a static transform in order to display it in rviz:
rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 map cloud 10
To launch the driver using the default launch file:
roslaunch sick_scan sick_lms_5xx.launch hostname:=10.42.0.10
(Note: I had previously changed the IP address of the lidar using the SiCK provided SOPAS, the default address is: 192.168.0.10, IIRC)
Laser data is published on '/scan'.
