If the cabinet is part of a larger bathroom project, it should be installed after the rough wiring is completed, but before the flooring is laid. If you are tiling, remember to leave spaces for the bathroom cabinets - they are placed next to the wall.
Bathroom cabinets may be fully assembled or sold in flat-pack form. Some are pre-painted, while others are left bare for you to paint or stain to match your decor. This must be done before they're hung.
If your bathroom cabinet is pre-assembled, remove all the drawers, shelves etc before fixing it to the wall. If it's flat-packed, check all the parts are there, and then assemble everything except the shelves. Some people prefer to leave the doors off until after fixing as well, especially if the cabinet is large.
Check that the wall is smooth and level, and able to take the weight of the cabinet (i.e. don't attach it to a boarded partition). Check the wall with a straight edge, marking any uneven bumps. Also, check there are no cables where you'll be drilling.
As one of the most personal areas in your home, the bathroom should reflect the homeowners taste in addition to being functional. The average bathroom in New York City is 5'x7', therefore, a degree of creativity is required.
