Easiest way is Figure 8 fibre cable. Use a bucket truck, drill the poles, mount 3 bolt clamps to the poles with through-bolts (threaded rod with concave washers) and go to town.
At the first and last poles when entering the buildings I always liked to use a strand vise (dead end) to terminate the strand to a thimble eye.
If there's enough money in the budget, they used to make j-hooks that connected to the through bolt that provided a comfortable place to lay the cable till you clamped it down. This way you could lay the whole run in place and then lock it in place. Some guys liked that, some thought it a waste of time.
You'll need a come-along or fence puller, just remember to be gentle with the glass.
With fibre, no need for lightning protection.
