Root

Device does not need to be rooted to install recovery.

Custom Recovery: TWRP

TWRP can be installed with relative ease, as this device does not have a locked bootloader(?). To install TWRP: enable USB debugging, reboot to bootloader, and flash the recovery image. See the device page on the TWRP website here for detailed instructions and to download recovery images.
