Hi, here is a video on this https://www.google.ca/search?q=how+to+install+attic+insulation&rlz=1C1KMZB_enCA517CA517&oq=how+to+install+attic&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.8553j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=1
You can rent a machine and blow it in. You can roll out fiber glass between ceiling joists. Staple for walls, roof.
If you have access to the attic, all you need to do is purchase the appropriate R value insulation. Measure the distance between rafter or truss (24", 18" etc...) Go make your purchase. Most insulation will have manufactures installation instruction with it.
Tools:
Long sleeve, dust mask, eye protection, staple gun or hammer tacker, utility knife and a straight edge.
After you're done be sure to shower in the coldest water you can stand. Hot showers open pores in your skin which will embed the fibers and may cause itchiness or rash.
Home depot will let you use the blow machine free if you buy enough insulation .we did top of garage .you may have to put down a deposit .
One of the most important things is to have sofit vents, they are a light foam and easily installed, but they control moisture and mold so are really important.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEwsvoPMq1c
