We only support Skyrim version 1.9.36+ and Wrye Bash 307.beta2 or higher.
We can not help with NMM / MO / MO2 related problems
Important: Wrye Bash needs developers. If you are familiar with the Python programming language, please consider helping with development. We ported our repository to git at github to make contributing super easy. Our bug tracker lists everything we're aware of at present.
What does Wrye Bash do?
Wrye Bash is a powerful mod management utility for TES IV: Oblivion, TES V: Skyrim, Fallout 4 and TES V Skyrim SE.
Its a mod installation and file conflict manager
A plugin load order manager
Screenshot manager
.ini and settings files tweak management.
It makes it safe to try out new mods because it will restore everything to the way it was when you uninstall a mod
It makes more mods compatible with each other by importing information from different mods into a "bashed patch" .. and many more features

Documentation
Basic information is in the OP of the Wrye Bash topic at the BethSoft forums linked to above. For more information visit:
The General Readme can be launched from inside Bash by clicking the question mark icon on Bash's toolbar.
Requirements and Installation:
Short version:
Just use the installer and install to the Skyrim folder! When you install dependencies, just install them to their default locations.
Long version:
There are two versions available: the Python version and the Standalone version. They are functionally equivalent. Most people should run the Standalone version since it is slightly simpler (no external Python components to install). The Python version, however, allows you to follow the rapidly developed code and is therefore preferred.
Dependency installation for the Python version will be handled automatically by the installer. However, if you want or need to do things manually, see the installation sections on the General Readme for information, and the Advanced Readme for detailed instructions.
Note that the 32-bit versions are required even if you are on a 64-bit operating system
Then:
For manual installations of either the Standalone or Python versions, extract the archive in your Skyrim game folder so that the Mopy directory appears in the Skyrim directory
For Python versions, run by double-clicking on Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw
For WBSA (Wrye Bash StandAlone), run by double-clicking on Wrye Bash.exe
Remember! In Windows Vista and up, don't install Skyrim Special Edition in the Program Files folder due to User Account Control! See Also File Permissions
