It's a very simple procedure (this is, after all, what Nexuses are designed for), so you can follow that linked tutorial and then come back here to flash a custom recovery. You'll also need your Nexus 5 bootloader unlocked, for which you can use the BootUnLocker for Nexus Devices app.

What do I do once I have a custom recovery on my Nexus 5?
Good question! Lots of things really. If your Nexus 5 is sluggish or laggy you can reboot into recovery and do a hard reset to speed things up. If things are a little wonky after an update you can reboot into recovery and clear the cache partition to get rid of bugs. Or you can download and flash custom ROMs.
You can also download and flash zip files that can bring a wealth of cool stuff to your Nexus 5, like boot animations, system sounds or even the ''Ambient Display'' notifications from the Nexus 6. There's heaps of stuff you can do once you're rooted and a custom recovery gives you plenty of options to play with.
