You can read the detailed documentation regarding installation/configuration of Squid.

Prior to editing the configuration file, you should make a copy of the original file and protect it from writing so you will have the original settings as a reference to re-use as necessary.

sudo cp /etc/squid/squid.conf /etc/squid/squid.conf.original
sudo chmod a-w /etc/squid/squid.conf.original

You should now edit (ex. sudo nano /etc/squid/squid.conf) the file /etc/squid/squid.conf and change the http_port directive to http_port 8888
