Turn on your device using the proper key combo to get into download mode and attach the device to your computer via a USB cable. Use the PDA tab (or AP tab in latest versions of Odin) or button to browse to and select the tar file that you downloaded and flash the device.

Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP.
