Sorry, I don't know if thers a "very easy" way to root any Nexus. I would do some research on Youtube. They have a lot of helpful videos there. Most roots are complicated and can take some time. Sorry

You can A: try reinstalling the toolkit because it does work. Also make sure you have the right toolkit for your nexus 7 or B: unlock the bootloader from fastboot, flash CWM recovery through adb, then flash the root package from CWM.
Luckily it's a nexus so it's easy peasy to root and rom it. If you provide which nexus 7 you have I can help trying to locate the files you need.
