How do I cycle a 5 gallon tank for my betta fish?

Alright I have decided after much consideration that I am only going to get a single betta fish.

But before I do that I have to cycle my tank right? I am completely a beginner to this so I need step by step directions in lamens terms lol, so if you could give me the simplest easy way to do a fishless cycle for my 5 gallon tank that would be awesome.

Ive read that people *feed the tank* is this just simply adding food flakes to the empty tank to grow good bacteria, oh and also adding raw shrimp?! is that true?

Thanks for the help!
