Mostly you just figure it out. There are some books available on how to apply vinyl. Check with the place that you bought the vinyl.

If you're working with a large piece than I only cut off a 2-3 inch section straight across. Then once it is in place you can pull the rest of the backing off slowly as you lay down the exposed part. Also you can float it if it's rather large. Get some application fluid to help with this.

Are you familiar with transfer tape? You use it to lift the cut vinyl away from the backing paper then lay your graphic down using the transfer tape , then remove the transfer tape. You can do this wet or dry using the hinge method.
