If it's from ebay, the first thing is to get it crack tested and checked for flatness!

Cam in first, then push the rocker shafts in, threading the rockers on as you go, with the adjuster eccentrics either turned fully in or removed. Keep the rockers off of the valves, and by turning the cam, you can slide it all together.
Move the 'loose' rockers onto the cam lobes, and fit the clips, turn the cam, and slide the remaining rockers in place.
Finally, fit the locking plate for the rocker shafts, and turn the cam pulley to line up the timing marks.
