Depends on how accessible it is to get to the ceiling. If yo can do it from the attic just find the center of the room and drill a hole. Then go up in the attic and see how close to a ceiling joist you are if you can nail the box to the joist cut the hole for the box and nail it to the joist if not cut a 2 x 4 to fit in between the joists nail it in and screw the box to it. Then find a 14-2 wire in the attic and cut it making sure the power is off first and put a junction box in. Then run a new wire from the junction box to the ceiling fan box which by the way is octagon shape. Then from the ceiling fan box run a wire down the wall where you want to put the switch at. You might have to drill a hole in the top plate depending on how old the house is. Cut a hole for the switch box. Also you should use a remodel box as these are easiest to install in a wall. Then just wire everything up. If you want to put the fan and light on a different switch then you will need 14-3 wire and use a 4x4 box. If you live in a two story house and can't access the ceiling through the attic it's a totally different ballgame

Somehow you will have to get a power source to the ceiling box where you will install the fan and then control by using the pull chains
