Pre-hung 6panel closet door(interior)

Bought it from the Depot---Prehung and ready to go..

Is it is simple as, put door in place....add shims to inside frame, check swing, nail, and then shim outside and done.....

What size finish nails? Any tips on installing this door, there is no sheetrock on the walls..do I wait to rock, or install before the rock???

Door is a 2ft wide by 80" high...

I would install the sheetrock first. Nail the case to the frame with #10 finish nails, the facing trim with #6.

Use a four foot level for the door.

Hope this helps.
