With the instructions in the box...
Not being a dick but it really depends on the brand. I just switched from an Innovate LC-1 which is very complicated to an AEM EUGO which ia very simple.
You will at minimum need to add a bung to the exhaust at your desired location, and supply power and ground to the gauge.
Make sure not to put the sensor near 6 o'clock because ir will collect moisture and destroy it.
Also make sure to use the supplied bung / nut or equivalent to make sure the 02 sensor is installed at the correct depth.

Yes.
There are two different types of o2 sensors. Narrowband which is what most oem manufactures uses, and Wideband which is what all racing types use.
Narrowband sensors are accurate only around 14.7/1. Most widebands are accurate from 10.0/1- 18.0/1.
A wideband is the ONLY way to accurately find out what A/F your vehicle is running at.

i've had a narrowband and wideband gauge both hooked to my car at the same time, they both fluctuated back and forth identically. the wideband just gave me a number as opposed to the narrowband just gave me a light show.
if you can find a narrowband on craigslist for $10-20 it's an okay way just to monitor to see if everything is working, i.e. two injectors quit working and it reads lean. or monitoring to see if your stock o2's are working. pretty much the same as watching the o2 sensors on a scanner
for any kind of tuning, racing, data recording there's no way around a wideband. i run an lc-1 on my car, kind of a pain in the *** to hook up, but not terrible
