I couldnt get the sd card to work in twrp, so I used android-file-transfer on the mac to transfer the file to the chuwie (it works while in twrp recovery mode)

• Once the file is copied over
• Go to the install menu in twrp
• Select the zip file you just uploaded
• Once its flashed, reboot back to android

Root Your Chuwi

• Restart your chuwie and go to the bootloader
• Select recovery and boot into twrp
• You then need to get superSU from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable
• Once you are in twrp transfer over superSu
• Then go to install, select the superSU zip file you uploaded and install it
• Then you can reboot your chuwi into a rooted android
