The forum is not an ideal place to get a how to install NBU guide.  The system needs to be designed correctly for the number of jobs it will run per day,  checked for compatability (eg. will this bit of hardware work, is this OS compatable etc...)

That said, the install steps are found in the install guide, though the other manuals will be needed/ useful info.

The 7.5 documentation can be found here:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5138

An install checklist is available here

In particultar you will need these manuals, available from the links above.

NetBackup Installation Guide for UNIX and Linux
NetBackup Installation Guide for Windows
NetBackup Getting Started Guide
NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore Getting Started Guide

NetBackup Backup Planning and Performance Tuning Guide

The compatability guides are available here

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH59978

I would recommend you install 7.6, or at least 7.5.0.7 as a minimum

Like mph999 mentioned,

Use https://sort.symantec.com/netbackup for steps, and tools to help with install. This will give you that outline your looking for. Because every environment is different, you will need to cater your NetBackup install to what your looking to accomplish. 

As your going through this process, search the forum for answers or post questions if you don't find them.

I have had a look at your other posts over the last 4 months.
It seems you have some experience with NBU. Enough to understand that this is not an 'off-the-shelve' product where you go 'install-next-next-next' and all just magically works...

As the experts already said - impossible to cover the A-Z in a single forum post.
A good knowledge of the environment as well as of the product is needed to design and implement a backup solution.

Best to pay a bit extra to get a consulting partner to assist with design, installation and configuration.
In the meantime, find the 'Training' link at the bottom of this page and enroll for the 5-day classroom training and/or make use of the free online training.
Also download the manuals and start reading:
Compatibility Guides
Getting Started
Installation Guides
Admin Guides
Deduplication Guide
Troubleshooting Guide (that also gives a good understanding of process flows)

I also strongly recommend that you rather install NBU 7.6.
It includes major product improvements and enhancements (especially MSDP). 
If you have new licenses with 12-month maintenance, you can get your 7.6 license keys on the Licensing Portal.
The latest patch level is 7.6.0.4.
