Follow the firmware guide.

Install / Upgrade

Required firmware/bootloader: Android 6.0.1 (recommendation here)

recovery

While not recommended you can use any other recovery of course but keep in mind that only the official one is able to verify the AXP.OS OTA signature and is hardened like the OS itself. So it is HIGHLY recommended to use the official AXP.OS recovery.

Download the latest official AXP.OS recovery from here: leech server

Flashing the recovery should be done by using heimdall (a tool which is e.g. included in mAid):

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img

then boot to recovery and follow the regular Install (non A/B) guide:

Install (non A/B)

Setup AXP.OS
