How to install Skyrim Realistic Overhaul for Skyrim Special Edition? - Everyday sneakers with lush shape and dense texture

I have downloaded:

Skyrim_Realistic_Overhaul_Part_1.7z
Skyrim_Realistic_Overhaul_Part_2.7z
Skyrim_Realistic_Overhaul_Part_3.7z

From:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/skyrim-realistic-overhaul/downloads

According to the installation guide:

Installation:
