Install TWRP on 7.0 Nougat Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge

Now that Samsung has updated both the Galaxy S6 SM-G920F and S6 Edge SM-G925F to official Android 7.0 Nougat firmware based on TouchWiz UX, a good thing to do is to install TWRP on your phone. As it is the most used recovery on Android phones, it will be a nice addition to the already awesome features of the Nougat update.
If you are a TWRP fan and have used it on your phone with older Android versions such as Marshmallow, you will be happy to hear that you can install the recovery on the latest Nougat update as well. The new firmware does not cause any issues with recoveries and users can reinstall their favorite ones.
When you flash the Nougat firmware on your S6 or S6 Edge using Odin, it will delete your custom recovery (TWRP) and revert back to stock. The good news is that you can easily reinstall it.
