Best with four, but three can do it. One inside to lift and slide towards rear, then to go outside to one side along with another person in back and on the other side.  GoWesty has a video using four: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASC9dZkfxbQ&list=UUDy57LhSN3iRCMzpySklwRQ 

I recommend four for install.
