How do I install a mod with nexus mod manager if I downloaded it manually?

I'm trying to install fallout new vegas redesigned and I think I'm supposed to install the mod through nexus mod manager but I only have the option to download it manually. How do I use NMM to install the mod which is downloaded completely separately from NMM?

not sure specifically about that mod , you will have to check if it has specific installation instructions (just don't remember)

but in general , there is a green plus icon on the left side of NMM , with an option to add mod from file

click this and select the file you've downloaded , this will add the mod to NMM

after this all you have to do is install the mod (basically double click on it , it will start the installation process) . if the mod comes in an installer , just follow it and select the options you wish to use

Thank you so very much. I feel like such an idiot, I can't believe I missed that.

it's quite fine , I've used NMM quite enough , so I learned over time

don't feel like an idiot , you are just inexperienced as of yet , but over time this will change :)
