Custom recovery using an unofficial version of TWRP is highly unrecommended since it comes with many risks, including leading your device to hang and inoperable. You would never want that. With the official version of the TWRP itself, you are warned to be very careful since you can end up damaging your phone. Only those with some kind of knowledge and confidence in handling the complete sequence are advised to do the operations or one must educate themselves on how to do it the right way.
The process involves downloading TWRP, and once installed, you will need to back up all important information you have stored in your mobile onto an external storage or the cloud and then do the custom recovery and reboot.
Keep your smartphone safe and secure.
