if youre just doing an upgrade install, just mavericks downloaded from app 
store, run it, it will reboot your mac, run voiceover within 1 minute or after 
that so you have a little time to load if you’re using a rotational HDD.  as 
soon as voiceover starts speaking, you’re on your way.

if you’re doing a clean install, however, I’d use DiskMaker X and let it guide 
you through a setup with an external pen drive. it’s fairly simple though I do 
recommend if you’re going to use a pen or external drive method, ensure the 
hard drive’s formatted to OS X extended (journaled)
