It depends on how much is being replaced. You might get away with just unscrewing the hinges off of the old door and screwing on a new one, or more likely, removing the trim from around the door, unscrewing or removing the nails holding it in place along with the shims, then doing the whole process in reverse to install the new one.

Properly preparing the opening is the first step. Be sure the rough opening is the correct size for the door you will be installing. Apply a sill protection to the floor and apply caulking to the perimeter of the outside edge of the rough opening before setting the door. Follow any manufacturer instructions and be sure to apply a drip cap on the top of the door. Having a weather and water proof door is critical to it's operation.

You knock out the hinge pins and re-fit another door of the same size, exactly the same way you would in a house.
