booting 2010 iMac from SSD installed in place of optical drive

I have physically installed a SATA SSD in place of the optical drive. I have formated the drive and am struggling to install an OS on and boot from the SSD. I have used revovery mode to erase the drive and tried to install the OS. I am getting very confused.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
