As Dale said,
'crontab -e'
to edit the current user's crontab is the easiest solution, which I
also use with cronie. There you can paste in your config line without
the user name.
You can also edit /etc/crontab if you want, in this file the syntax
includes a field to specify what user a command should run as, so here
you could paste in your config line as is.
Make sure to add the cronie service to a runlevel so it starts automatically:
'sudo rc-service add cronie default'
Regards,
Arve
