[Complete zip file for CWM based installation]
I guess here everyone must have working CWM recovery on their device. In that case just place the downloaded recovery_menu_v1.0.0.1_signed.zip file in your sdcard and install it using CWM recovery's "install zip from sdcard" option.

[Only recovery.img file for USB based instalation]
Otherwise just extract recovery.img from the zip file and replace it from /image folder that you will find in USB device that gets loaded when you conect your phone to PC in download mode.

Do you mean flashing using CWM recovery. In that case, I have not flashed recovery.img like we do for boot.img
I have just extracted it to FIH partition. You can check my updater script in META-INF/google/android/updater-script file from zip
