Depends.
Are you going to buy a ready to go package, or DIY?
If you can turn a wrench, and have some tools knowledge it's pretty easy.
DIY route, you'll need some additional stuff to tune it.Tony

And read some more.
It will make your brain hurt if you are new to TBI and/or electronics, but it is well worth the investment of the time.
It's not particularly tough to understand, but it is different than carbs and such. OTOH, it is also similar, in that it is designed to feed an Otto cycle engine. Thus, there are the electronic versions of a choke, fast idle and other things.
I would recommend a setup that includes timing control if your local emissions laws allow it.
