to the OP
nothing complicated
do not skimp on materials
purchase good quality paper and chemicals (hint Ilford paper and Ilford chemistry)
obtain and study the instructions
follow them to the letter especially the stuff about shelf life, unopened and opened (write the date of purchase on every bottle and the date of mixing of working strength) and also the stuff about developer working capacity and fixer working capacity (keep a log while printing of the quantity and size of the sheets processed)
there is a test strip product for fixer silver content called AG-fix that can be bought here
