Welcome to the Forum. There are many ways to do it, but I recommend doing them one at a time, one off and replaced, on to the next. I only take all the strings off at one time to do serious cleaning of the fretboard or doing something under the pickguard. Also if your back plate has access to the back (hole(s)), not need to remove the plate, unless you have/want to. Follow this link:

I've always changed strings one at a time. I've always used it to take advantage of the open space on my fretboard to clean it, and be able to put a light touch of oil on the saddles (where they contact the strings), and clean the crud under the strings by the pickups.

And one more thing, alternate from one string to another on opposing sides. First do high/low e string, then the b/a string, depending on what you choose, then the d/g string, and then what remains. This makes the drop in tension easier for the neck to handle.

Pretty much the same way you do on any other guitar.
