TPM (trancripts per million) RNA-Seq analysis

I have a .csv file containing RNA-Seq data already normalysed (to TPM). I would like to do a differential expression analysis, I read the DESeq, DESeq2, edgeR and Limma vignettes but I don't know where to start. Any suggestions? The snapshot of my data is like this:

Gene EntrezID APC_1 APC_2 
Apoa1 11806 14668.15 2875.06 
Mup3 17842 9992.58 1697.63 
Serpina3k 20714 8031.3 2849.67
rna-seq tpm r rstudio

Thank you very very much!

Software such as Deseq2 or edgeR require unnormalised raw counts of reads (obtained for example, by htseq-count, featurecounts or directly by STAR mapper), because they do their own normalizations internally. But, there are workarounds. As mentioned by @Santosh, you can follow one the step-by-step tutorials on how to perform differential gene expression analysis.
