How to add the "Action Bar Icon Pack" to Android Studio

I've just downloaded the Action Bar Icon Pack from https://developer.android.com/design/downloads/index.html, and I've not been able to figure out a way to "install" these icons in Android Studio... Should I copy&paste it to the res/drawable folder, one by one? Or is there some dir where I could unzip them all?
