You can't install it "on original ROM". You are replacing the original " stock ROM with this custom ROM.
Here the general steps:

1. Install TWRP
2. Make a backup (in TWRP)
(Keep in mind that everything in your storagefolder is excluded. eg your pictures. So backup them )
3. Wipe everything (in TWRP)
4. Connect to PC and copy ROM and gapps to storage
5. Install ROM
6. Install Gapps (if needed)
7. Install Magisks (if needed)

BWT: I just saw that the same information was on the first page...

While coming from LOS14.1
I would go for the following stack:
TWRP 3.4
LOS 15.1
OpenGapps arm 8.1
by flashing TWRP first with adb and in the next step doing a complete wipe followed by flashing LOS15.1 and OGA, right?

In the next step I'd like to move on to 16 or 17 - is that recommended for the Nexus 4 or should I better forget about it?

It's on page 1 - Right, but...
I went for LOS 15.1 (Android 8.1)
It wasn't possible to install Gapps8.1ARM for me yet. (of course I need to put a gapps-config.txt with excludes for pico or nano package first)
How am I supposed to flash LOS 17.1 without any modifications?
I thought there is no room for 16.1 / or 17.1 on the standard partition size, wasn't it?
I guess without repartioning there is no way to go straight to Android 9 or 10.
