Rooting a Nexus 6

Hey guys, I just got a Nexus 6 as my personal phone. I'd love to get into rooting and installing custom roms, but honestly I don't know where to start. I haven't taken any pictures or done anything I mind losing yet. I watched the XDA video on how to root, and it involved using programs and hooking it up to my computer. Is this the best way to root the device?

if its anything like the N4 and N5, i would HIGHLY recommend using WUGFRESH toolkit (ignore the haters on XDA that say to do this with command line stuff)

eta also to get the fastboot drivers (you'll need these to run WUG), just install PDANET. easiest way to get the drivers by far.

Easy as pie, really is. And you can't screw it up beyond repair so don't worry.
Have any questions or issues let me know.

Thanks CAD!
My Nexus 6 is officially rooted. I've been playing around with Greenify and Tasker. I can finally do the Tasker setup where if I text a certain phrase to my phone it will beep so I can find it, even if it's on silent.

So I've run into an issue. Maybe my second time ever rooting but I used to jailbreak a lot but pretty different. I'm using a mac as well so kinda more difficult to find help and I have searched and searched for an answer to this
I'm using TWRP to install roms and can't get anything to load. I wipe everything then try to install the g apps and the rom. It says checking for MD5 files skipping md5 files: no md5 file found. error flashing zip.
I couldn't find help anywhere even XDA, I'm not signed up there though so may have to to ask.
Any help would be great
