As Oshane said, it’s an easy install however if you’d like to mount it permanently somewhere such as your rooftop, you should look for a rooftop specialist to do that.
The fee from Starlink takes into consideration the customs fee so you’ll have nothing additional to pay. Also if you go for the mobile option you don’t need to install it.
