Unlike some mods that you put into the /Mods folder of your 7days folder, Darkness Falls is a complete overhaul and needs its own installation. So copy out your 7days game folder to another location. The install notes are listed on the page I linked above.
Darkness Falls has some neat stuff. It's also a lot harder, so when you start up your first game, back your settings down to the default difficulty settings until you get a look at how it plays out. You will encounter radiated zombies on day one, ferals and screamers by day 3. And eventually unique stuff to this mod like liches, demons, etc.
The mod comes with a few pre-gen worlds. It is recommended to use one of those to play this mod because there are A LOT of new/unique POIs as well as other new resources that are part of the new recipes that I don't know get added if you use a custom world.
When choosing your class at the beginning, bear in mind that you can eventually unlock all of them, so initially just pick what you want to try out. I like Scavenger to start since the quest rewards you with a bicycle which helps early.
