Fitting a PVC door

ive ordered a new PVC door, measured the frame slighlty below the current size so I can get it in easily enough.
I also have to install a fan light above the door.

How easy is it to install?
What equipement will I need?
What screws do I need?
Do i fill any gaps with soft wood or foam? What is the best type of foam?

thanks.

    No foam or wood, you need spacers and frame fixers, any small gap should be made good with carefully applied silicone, if the gap is too large to fill with a bead of silicone, you have measured it incorrectly.

    Sorry if this sounds a bit blunt, but if you do not know what spacers and frame fixers are, I would get a tradesman in to do the job for you.
