How do i get this Jquery smooth-scroll to work?

I have found a smooth-scrolling Jquery file written by this guy Karl Swedberg. The link is here: https://github.com/kswedberg/jquery-smooth-scroll. What i wanted is to make my navigation icon smooth-scroll to the anchor point once clicked. My Html code for navigation bar is here:

<div class="nav">           
    <ul>
        <li class="icon"><a href="#info"><img src="./Img/info-64.png" alt="info-icon"></a></li>
        <li class="icon"><a href="#education"><img src="./Img/Icon-edu.png" alt="info-icon"></a></li>
        <li class="icon"><a href="#employment"><img src="./Img/Icon-employment.png" alt="info-icon"></a></li>
        <li class="icon"><a href="#skill"><img src="./Img/Icon-skills.png" alt="info-icon"></a></li>
        <li class="icon"><a href="#achievement"><img src="./Img/Icon-achiev.png" alt="info-icon"></a></li>
        <li class="icon"><a href="#"><img src="./Img/photo-64.png" alt="info-icon"></a></li>
        <li class="icon"><a href="#personality"><img src="./Img/Icon-personality.png" alt="info-icon"></a></li>
    </ul>
    </div>

It is a vertical navigation bar with many icons instead of text. The Jquery file is quite complicated for my current understanding, and i wouldn't be able to produce something more specific at this point yet. So your help is highly appreciated!

using built in jquery animation would probably be easier. This page outline how to do this quite easily;

http://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/smooth-scrolling/

the code from there is this;

$(function() {
  $('a[href*=#]:not([href=#])').click(function() {
    if (location.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') == this.pathname.replace(/^\//,'') && location.hostname == this.hostname) {
      var target = $(this.hash);
      target = target.length ? target : $('[name=' + this.hash.slice(1) +']');
      if (target.length) {
        $('html,body').animate({
          scrollTop: target.offset().top
        }, 1000);
        return false;
      }
    }
  });
});

to use it add an anchor with href the same as the element you want to scroll to. e.g.

<a href="#one">link to div 1</a>
<div id="one"></div>
