If you don't have easy access to the drain from below, you'll want to fit a slip couple on the P-trap. You'll have to position it directly under the shower pan drain and cut the drain fitting to length. This may take some trial and error -- placing and removing the shower pan until you get it right. When it all lines up, set the pan and screw in the strainer. This can be difficult for a novice. Doing it wrong means damaging the ceiling below. It might be wise to bring in a plumber or an experienced friend just for this part. At the very least, buy a how-to book and you'll see photo's and drawings of how it comes together.
