Colorbond Shed - Windows and Door Install

G'day,

I recently bought a house along with a 12 x 10m colorbond shed built by the previous owner. I am pretty sure its a 'Shedboss' shed. It came with 3 uninstalled windows (around 1.5 x 1), and I have purchased a sliding glass door which I want to all install to get some light in there. Its like a cave most of the time.

The guy I bought the door from showed me how he installed his sliding door in his shed, but I want to make sure I have it right before I chop into the walls.

Do I just cut the wall, so that the surrounding lip around the window sits against the inside of the wall?

I know I will have to get some kind of flashing to keep the water off the top of the windows/door. Can you get this stuff straight off the shelf at Stratco or something? How will I flash the sides? Just silicone?

The wall I want to install the door and one of the windows in. Door in the left hand corner, and window near the right hand corner.

Random flashings sitting in the shed. I would have assumed that there would be some kind of flashing for the window included, but cant find anything.

Same wall on the outside.
