An easier way is to update automatically from your phone. Google is releasing Marshmallow OTA updates now and your phone should receive any time now. Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Updates and a notification that Marshmallow is available should appear.

If you haven’t received the notification yet, then there is another easy way which again, involves OTA files. The official Android 6.0 Marshmallow files have been captured. This means that if you are stuck on Android 5.1.1, you can download the OTA zip file and flash it using the stock recovery.
