Basic (newbie) question re a Mod

[MadMax414th]

Hi, I have NEVER used or installed a mod before, so please excuse my basic question. I wanted to install the "Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Edition" mod (CBBE). I D/L'd the NMM but before I tried using the mod, I wanted to know if I can just install this one (stand alone). I did read their FAQ's but did not see this answered(may be too basic, as I know nothing about these). I read on other mods that a skeleton mod needed to be installed before using theirs but am not sure what skeleton I need, if any, for this (CBBE) one. I am playing Skyrim for the first time but was afraid I may ruin the game if I try installing the CBBE mod before asking if I can just install the mod by itself (no skeleton programs first etc). Please forgive my ignorance and thank you, so much, for your time and help with this!

I am SO very SORRY that I have not been able to get back on until tonight. Please forgive me for not thanking you and responding sooner. This is the first time I have been able to look at the reply to my question. I will look at the links provided and if it is OK I will ask for further assistance if I am still having issues. I did try to use the Nexus installer. I was able to download the mod with the installer but I could not figure out how to actually find the "install" command. I decided I better wait until I had heard back from you experts before I forced the issue. I can not thank you enough for your time and assistance! Hopefully the links provided will overcome my ignorance ;)

Thanks again Jackette, I am grateful.
