WCF service application deployment

I am newbie to WCF. I have created one WCF Service Application having three services. I want to deploy it now, so I can access it from other computers. What steps should I follow?

Again it's WCF Service application not service library.

I used to thought that "WCF Application" cannot be deployed on IIS (Because in some articles I found that, advantage of WCF Service library over application is they can be deployed on IIS and in some other ways)

It is simple than I thought.

Just defined ABC's of service

<services>
  <service name="HotelBookingServiceWcf.AdminService">
    <endpoint contract="HotelBookingServiceWcf.IAdminService"
              binding="basicHttpBinding"
              address="mex">
    </endpoint>
   </service>
</services>

Went to IIS Manager In left panel

Sites > Right Clieck > Add new site

Gave details and specified port number ok

To test it's working right click on .svc file and click on view in browser It will open a web page if nothing's wrong you will see service page
