Need Moto G4 Plus rooted somehow

[ani04]

So I had this Moto G4 Plus phone at my house and I needed it to do some work and to do that work the phone needs to be rooted, I've been trying to root the phone since 6 hours and I'm unable to do so and then I found out that the bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to do so & the warnings of bootloader are kinda scary and I dont want to destory my phone.
My requirement is I need anroid 7 or 7+ and need it rooted and nothing else.
How can I do it? Can I either install some custom .

I have android 7.0 running on my phone right now

Please have a look at the guides section where such guides are available in each device section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-newbie-resource-thread-t3386584

If you have already android 7, just follow the guide to unlock the bootloader, flash twrp, ElementalX kernel and then magisk for root.
