Steam works but I've heard it's trickier, hadn't looked into it too much. Here's the installation instructions from the readme.

Installation (if you don’t have Oblivion by Steam)
************************************************** **
· Nehrim is not a normal mod and is not installed as you normally install mods. Our
Installer does all the work for you, but we would like to explain what it actually does.
· Since Nehrim is a total conversion, it would not be advisable to install the mod directly into
the Oblivion installation folder – because in doing so there is simply too much data that will
be overwritten.
· Instead the installer automatically locates your Oblivion directory and copies out all the
needed information to play Nehrim into the Nehrim folder. This is a location on your hard
drive selectable by you.
WARNING: If you are using Windows Vista or 7, then please do not install Nehrim into one of
the Program Folders (Program, Program Files, Program(x86), Program Files (x86)). Because
of the Windows security checks this can cause problems.
· Now you have two Oblivions installed, but in separate folders. The advantage of this is that
at any time you can switch between your regular Oblivion game and Nehrim.
Installation (if you have Oblivion by Steam)
· Steam is a little rigid concerning its copy protection. Unfortunately, due to that feature you
can't have Nehrim and Oblivion installed separately, so you will have to overwrite Oblivion
with your Nehrim installation.
· First create a copy of your Oblivion folder as a backup. You can find this in the folder
Steam/SteamApps/common.
· Now you can execute the Nehrim installer, choosing any place on your harddrive for
installation.
WARNING: If you are using Windows Vista or 7, then please do not install Nehrim into one of
the Program Folders (Program, Program Files, Program(x86), Program Files (x86)). Because
of the Windows security checks this can cause problems.
· When the installation is complete, go to the folder where you have installed Nehrim. Copy
and paste ALL of it into your Oblivion folder (Steam/SteamApps\common).
Starting Nehrim (if you don’t have Oblivion by Steam)
· After the installation is complete you will find a “Nehrim – At Fate's Edge” icon on your
desktop. This is a system launcher developed by SureAI that works like the already known
Oblivion Launcher but with a few additional features. Still DO NOT click “Play” yet!
Because just as you do with other mods, you must first activate the Nehrim files.
· Therefore click on “Data Files” and uncheck ALL game files that you have activated. To
play Nehrim now enable “Nehrim.esm” and “NehrimData.esp”. NOTHING ELSE! All
files that have anything to do with Oblivion must be disabled or the game will crash.
· Now you can click the “Play” button. You can check to see if there is an update for Nehrim
by using the Nehrim Launcher (you need only to communicate with the update server by
clicking on the arrow next to the “Update” button and then activate the check box). Then
using the link provided, you can download the update or let the launcher download it
automatically.
************************************************** **
Starting Nehrim (if you have Oblivion by Steam)
************************************************** **
· Unfortunately, you cannot use the Launcher provided by SureAI with Steam to start Nehrim.
Therefore, click as usual on the Oblivion start icon. Nevertheless, DO NOT click “Play”
yet! Just as you do with other mods you must first activate the Nehrim files.
· Therefore click on “Data Files” and uncheck ALL game files that you have activated. To
play Nehrim now enable “Nehrim.esm” and “NehrimData.esp”. NOTHING ELSE! All
files that have anything to do with Oblivion must be disabled or the game will crash.
· Now you can click the “Play” button. You can check to see if there is an update for Nehrim
by using the Nehrim Launcher (you need only to communicate with the update server by
clicking on the arrow next to the “Update” button and then activate the check box). Then
using the link provided, you can download the update or let the launcher download it
automatically.

Basically Steam's DRM means you can't have the separate install and have to overwrite Oblivion with with Nehrim. You can back up Oblivion though for switching later.

The download page I provided was for the English subbed verison, all the dialogue and UI is translated, some of the books aren't, VA is still German.
