You'll need: a computer, correct drivers, adb and fastboot, stock factory image. Test adb and fastboot with 'adb devices' and 'fastboot devices' with tablet in recovery mode. Unzip the factory  image twice in the same directory as adb etc. And run the flash_all.bat file

Or you can try the wugfresh or nexus root toolkits if you need the hand holding. They are installed to a computer and automate the process somewhat. You'll need to pick the right firmware, see the guides.

There are options to flash a stock ROM as well as rooting.
