The question is not clear. in a general sense we can say we study it like other language grammars.

The currently used text of Sanskrit Grammar is what is known as Panini's Ashtaadhyaayee(aShTAdhyAyI). It is a collection of aphorisms about 4000 of them arranged in 8 Chapters and each chapter being divided into 4 quarters.

Panin's sutras(as they are called) are however too cryptic to be understood without the help of a trained teacher. Even though several books elucidating Panini have been written, it is really very difficult(next to impossible to read it on one's own). Now this is the difficulty of learning Sanskrit Grammar by means of self-study.

But the standard methos is to be aware of the supporting texts like 1. dhAtupATha 2. gaNapATha 3. uNAdi sUtras 4.li~NgAnushAsanam in addition to the sUtrapAtha( = aShTAdhyAyI)

If one intends to learn Sanskrit Grammar seriously it is better to look for a trained teacher, at least for some handholding. If one's capacity to understand the commentary called bAlamanoramA by Varadaraja on Bhattoji dikshita's Siddhanta Kaumudi is considerable then self study could be done.
