    Use the rsn function from the sn package in R (as I think from another question that R will work for you also):

    rsn(n=100, location=1.256269, scale=1.605681, shape=5)

    Will generate 100 (n) random numbers from a skew-normal distribution with the required location, scale and shape. Use higher sample size for plotting, e.g.:

    hist(rsn(n=10000, location=1.256269, scale=1.605681, shape=5))
