We do offer several brands of Class I trailer hitch for your 2014 Nissan Altima, including the Draw-Tite # 24796, which is a fine choice for use with a 2-bike hitch rack. An install video is linked for you. You'll need basic hand tools (they are listed in the linked instructions) and you'll also need a torque wrench like # ALL944001 to secure the included fasteners according to the manufacturer's specs.
If you prefer a platform-style rack that supports the bikes at their wheels I suggest the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670. Our many customers who purchased this carrier rate it highly for it's ease of use and sturdy construction. The linked video shows use on an Altima.
The linked articles will help you choose the best match for your particular bikes.
