Well it depends on how handy you are.
1) The simplest way to install a ceiling mount is to locate the joist and use lag bolts to attach the hanger to the joist through the drywall. Expect drywall to fall from the ceiling on occasion. This is not the best option IMO.
2) A slightly (very slightly) more difficult way would be to cut a 2x6 to a length of about 48" (assuming 16" between each joist). Place the 2x6 across three joists with two lag bolts into each joist. Then secure the ceiling hanger to the center of the 2x6 . This spreads the weight over a greater area and shouldn't disrupt the drywall or tweek the joist.
There are several more secure ways of installing the ceiling mount but I would need to know more about the area it is being placed (size, location, height, too many factors without actually seeing it). I recently built a half wall in my garage to enclose "My" training area. I then used some 4x4's to build a frame over the training area and used galvanized pipe to create bag hangers. I will be drilling holes into the pipe to lock the bags in position with hitch pins and when it's time to roll or spar, remove the hitch pins, and slide the bags out of the way.
Sorry for the extended reply to a simple question. I just don't like hanging bags from the ceiling. I've damaged too many houses that way.
Oh another simple thing would be to secure an eye bolt into the joist and hang the bag from that. I personally didn't like that because I had basically the same issues as in method #1 but I thought I should mention it. Do I ever shut up?
