They're pretty easy to install. Buy one that fits and follow the directions. Get the drain lin the right place, install the tub (it screws to the studs), install the shower walls, which also screw to the studs, and then drywall up to the edges of the insert. If it's a one piece, same thing but all one step. Make sure you have a stud along the vertical edge to screw the tub and shower walls to.
