Some struts need to be replaced as a unit, some can have an insert fitted.
If you have access to the tools, it's may not be a big job BUT some vehicles need the front end to be largely dis-assembled and the struts removed and this can be a bit more fiddly - especially for a beginner.
The vehicle should also have it's alignment checked when completed as some struts have a slotted fitting that will affect the camber.

OK, disregard some of the above, these may be correct - much easier option and well within the capabilities of a handyman - You could probably buy a spring compressor, manual, jack and stands, etc and still save money witht he bonus of having the tools left over for resale or hire/loaning or further jobs.
