Q: What do I need to change a hard drive? Where can I get them?

My late 2011 MBP hard drive failed last week and I need to replace it. I know how to do that, I just don't know what to do after.

 

I left everything that came with my macbook back in canada, except the chargers ofc. I'm in Asia right now.

 

I would've brought it in the nearest apple store, but the only apple store in the country is 5-6 hours away.

 

So yeah. I was thinking Mavericks/Yosemite, but do I need to install a previous OS for that first? How can I even install an OS? I'm guessing after the replacement, command+r won't work anymore, right? Do I need something else to install? If so, how and where can. I get it?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Intel i7 blah blah 4GB of RAM
