Is it a surface mount or under mount? What is it made out of? A photo would help.

If your talking about a cast iron farm sink, they usually add wood braces to cabinet to support the weight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KOendjBjOo there are all kinds of video on there for various brands of sinks. You might look up your sink directions on the manufacturer's website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh7gzIZLTWM

If you are talking about a regular sink, they make various clips to fasten the sink that you can get at any hardware store. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av8VaoL_WKI

There are so many bracket kits out there. It all depends if it's a fresh install or bracing an existing installation. I like the first ones in the Amazon link. The bolts epoxy to the underside of the counter. The brackets slide on the sink lip and tighten with wing nuts. Don't forget to put a bead of silicone around the lip of the sink before tightening.
