Take a picture. But all you need to hang a door is 1xs for your jamb, a ripped 1x to cover gaps around the edge of the doors openings then either a solid core slab door you cut down to fit, or build your own. If you go build your own route, I can walk you through that but you'd need a few tools (circular saw, either a saw guide, or a long straight edge and clamps, 1 inch trim screws, wood glue and material)

You mean attach 1xs on wall and ceiling and then attach a door?

It’s better to build the jamb around the door before installing. That way you know it’s true and fits the door. It’s relatively simple, you can go about it with basic screws or fancy joinery depending on your skill level. I built a custom jamb last year to reuse an old door original to my home and I was surprised how well it turned out and people are amazed when I tell them I built the door jamb. For reference, I’m a slightly skilled DIYer who is happy to take on a project slightly above my skill set to learn.
