The step-by-step directions as well as the rooted kernel can be found on the XDA Developer’s thread here. Overall, the process is relatively simple, and involves putting the device into download mode, and running Odin3 to flash the rooted kernel to the phone. However, the root is regarded as “experimental” so attempt it at your own risk.  It’s also not mac-compatible at the moment so unless you have a Windows computer running Odin3 and Kies, you’ll have to wait for a ported release.</div>

Though there is a risk to rooting your device, rooting will allow you to load your own custom ROMs as they become available in the future. For the average consumer however, rooting your device may also potentially void your warranty or prevent you from receiving official support down the line.
