You will basically need to align the crankshaft, and the camshafts
If you have stock camshafts, each camshaft timing gear should have an arrow or a tick etched into it. The main idea is to align both ticks facing upwards (perpendicular to the engine), and parallel to eachother.
The crankshaft also has ticks on it. When I did mine, it had 3 or 4 ticks, and a 25% chance of getting it right is plenty for me
A couple of points to keep in mind:
1.Take your time to do it right. If it doesn't align, re do it.
2.My manual said to follow thiis order when puting the timing belt on:
.....Crankshaft, tensioner, water pump, exhaust camshaft, intake camshaft.
3.Hand crank the engine 4 full turns before attempting to start it, to ensure smoothness and no valve-piston contact.

Here is a complete write-up:

Biggest thing is take time and double check

Here's a decent write up I found.
