Installation guide somewhere? Or am I just clueless?

I haven't messed with Skyrim and mods for years, the only thing I sort of know is the Nexus mod manager but I keep getting too many issues now until I saw a video saying Mod Organizer is better. I wanted to use a pack to start instead of creating one for myself. I can't seem to find a solid guide on how to install V5 Early Alpha it via Steam, or non-steam. The closest video I could find was Rotten Dub explaining how to change the resolution and presenting the pack. Will that come in the future or do I have to keep fumbling around?

are you using a steam install?

It's teh same as for 4.4. I would suggest you separate the game from steam.

Figures, I thought it was going to be the V4 guide but I can't seem to get it working. Every time I extract the files to Skyrim either with Winrar or 7zip there's always an error that a few files couldn't be extracted. I'll try installing it in a Skyrim folder outside of Steam, hope it works better for me.

When I tried installing into steam folder, the path was too long, which causes errors. So you have to copy the folder somewhere else first like say C:\skyrim and install it into that skyrim folder. Steam will still work ingame when you copy it to a different folder but updates dont get installed on that folder which prevents breaking the pack afaik.
