At the startup chime, hold down the Option+R key combination. The computer should launch into the Recovery system. This is a very bare system, with only a window providing a way to launch a handful of utilities and a menu bar. You must use the latter.

Select Utilities -> Terminal from the menu bar. A Terminal window should open.
Type df -h in the Terminal. This produces a list of partitions that are mounted. Locate the one on which you unpacked the rEFInd files. It will normally be /Volumes/Somename, where Somename is the volume's name.

In the Terminal, use cd to change to the directory where the rEFInd files you unpacked earlier are stored. For instance, on my MacBook, I would type cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/rodsmith/Destkop/refind-0.10.0. Note that if any element of this path includes a space, you must either enclose the entire path in quotes or precede the space with a backslash (\), as in this example's Macintish\ HD volume name.

Type ls to verify that refind-install is present in this directory.
