Its a first time, we are using the Nordic product. Please let me know how the step-by-step software installation procedure and would like to know the software cost as well.

Hi,
Are you using the nRF5 SDK or NCS (Nrf Connect SDK)? Both SDKs are free to download and use, and the same is true for the development tools you can use with the SDKs.
nRF5 SDK
If you want to use the nRF5 SDK, you should first take a look at the getting started page. There you will find a lot of information about how to quickly get started with the SDK and run some precompiled examples, as well as how to program and run examples yourself. If you're completely new to the SDK, you should try running a precompiled example first, which you can see how to do here.
Information about tools and downloads for nRF5 SDK can be found here. There you can find development IDEs to use, as well as the essential tools for developing with our devices with the SDK. I would recommend using SES (SEGGER Embedded Studio) for development. It's free to use with nRF devices, as you can get a free Nordic license. You can read more about getting started with nRF5 SDK and SES here.
When you've downloaded and installed the necessary tools, you can use the guides on the getting started page to learn how to compile and run examples, both with and without a Softdevice. You can find the different examples in nRF5 SDK here.
NCS
The getting started page for NCS can be found here. I would recommend installing the SDK through the toolchain manager, which you can find how to do here. This will install the SDK as well as the toolchain, and if you open SES through the toolchain manager, the environment variables will be set automatically so that you don't have to do it yourself. There's a guide on how to build an program applications in NCS here, and the different applications and samples can be found here.
We also have a tutorial for NCS, which I very much recommend if you're new to it. The tutorial can be found here.
Best regards,
Marte
