I just downloaded the files and the Recovery system came up. To install the update, I need to manually choose the files, but I don't know where to find the on my phone.
 
Look in the Download folder. Where they go depends on what you used to download them. If it was a browser, look in the browser's settings for its default download folder.

I used the actual OTA update system notification (through system settings)

If you downloaded the OTA update then you'll need to place the file on the computer inside the platform-tools folder. You'll be using the computer to push the update once you've entered recovery mode and enabled the adb sideload option.

Have you setup your computer to recognize the device adb/fastboot?

Yes I have, thank you!
 
I use the all-in-one Nexus Root Tool Kit to flash my Nexus 5, your phone does not have to be rooted to use the program. I use it on my PC to flash the major updates to Android so I get a fresh clean OS on my phone that runs with no lag and is buttery smooth.
