+Add the directory you cloned org-ref into to your load-path, and require the features you want.
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+(add-to-list 'load-path "path-to-org-ref")
+;; make sure you have dash, helm, helm-bibtex, ebib, s, f, hydra and key-chord
+;; in your load-path
+(require 'org-ref)
+
+;; optional but very useful libraries in org-ref
+(require 'doi-utils)
