If the hinges are already fitted to the door, just stand it against the frame, put wedges underneath each end, mark the frame for the screw holes, move the hinges away, start the screw holes, move the hinges back, screw into place.

Start with the hinge side of the door and make it plumb by shimming it at the top or bottmom and fasten it to the wall. Then close the door and just work around the door keeping the gap between the door and the frame the same. Also make sure that the door is fitting up agaisnt the door stop on the jamb tightly.

Sapper is correct the only thing I would bring to your attention is that sometines when you buy a pack of furniture ie handles,latch ,hinges you may find that the door will not close without bouncing back, this is because some funiture kits screws are to big for the hinges and this causes the door to be come hingebound. Solved by either drilling out the hinge screw flange a little or buy the next size down screws maybe no7s from no8s Hope this is of interest to you

First trim the door to fit the frame,this may mean sawing and planing. the door should fit with a "penny" joint all round IE1/16", fit a pair of hinges to the edge of the door on the hanging side Offer the door to the frame and mark the hinge position, Chop out hinge recess then hang the door, fit any furniture,IE, handles locks letterboxes numbers and the like. Job done.

AND; BUT; Also,,, If there are no hinges presently you should route or chisel a depression into the door and jamb; to Flush the hinges with the surface; then proceed as suggested.
Most doors are HUNG with 3 hinges.

Andrew was first to post the correct way to hang a door.
In a nutshell, plumb the side with the hinges then work your way around the door.

my crew have fitted thousands of doors ..SAPPPER is right when he says first fit the door in frame and ensure a clearance all round including allowing enough clearance for carpet or tiles on bottom ..most internal doors have only two hinges ..3 if its a fire door or an external one ..mark on door the area you are fitting the hinges ..normally about 8 inches (200mm)from top and bottom ..then you need to recess hinges into door and they should finish flush with door ..put door back in frame with it set for clearances ..mark frame with hinge and then recess into frame ..again flush ..the door should now swing in and out without hitting the frame...now fit door furniture
