    It uses the same electrical box, just take down old one and hang new one. Follow safe practices for electricity.

    When you buy the lamp it should have a small metal bar that screws across the electrical box and then a small screw in post..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PUCo2aXVAU&t=182s

    You might want to get a pack of electric wire covers to join the lamp wire to the ceiling wires.

    Don't forget to turn of the power at the breaker box, and test the wires.

    Good advice above. You will most likely have to paint and perhaps do some ceiling repair. This is why you see so many ceiling medallions around light fixtures.
