I dought if a Monkey could do it, but if there has been a washer fitted before then you should be able to do it, just connect the hose's to the correct pipes/valves(hot/cold) and put the waste into the standpipe or trap connector.
Beware some new machines only require a cold fill.

And don't forget to take any transit bolts or screws out of the machine beforehand. As plumb1 says, if all the fixtures are there and all your connecting pipes and cable reach then you won't have too much trouble. (Getting it out of the box is usually the worst problem!).
