In the old days you could run the oil pressure up with a drill. Some guys now pull the ignition power and crank the engine over for a couple of minutes (but only crank for 10-15 secs. then 10-15 second rest so you don't over heat the starter motor). If it was assembled well there should not be any problems. Monitor the oil pressure for the first few minutes very carefully. don't over rev for a couple of heat cycles. Just idle at first.
