Well there is so many ways to install but they way you looking it's ok ...Remember...always make small hole and then use file to make it big or make big as you need

Use a hole saw . They attach to your drill and cost about 5.00 - 8.00 at most hardware stores.

If u try to drill a hole using a large drill bit, and then file down the rest, it's probably going to take you a while. You can always use a rotary (dremel) tool to speed up that process, but the recommended method to make the hole is to use a hole saw. It is the quickest, easiest, and probably most effective (in my opinion) method.

I used my rotary tool with a cutting bit and just took my time. You should be able to cut out a pretty perfect hole as long as you don't let it get away from you.
