Generally, there are not a lot of special tools involved although you may need either a portable handbrake or access to a sheet metal shop if any special flashings need to be made. The installation instructions depend entirely upon what sort of product profile you choose and will be available from your supplier. As you can see from this site, there are numerous profiles and types of metal roofing available, each one with installation differences.

Yes, this is a fairly common detail which any quality manufacturer of standing seam will be able to provide the parts for or, at the very least, provide a drawing for so that the special parts could be made locally from matching metal.
