Tip: don’t push the rivet all the way out, just enough to release the other chain link. Then it’s easy to put the chain in the tool the other way and push the rivet back in, to join the chain. Read the instructions to find how to ensure the join is not stiff!
You really need to go to this link and read up before you mess up a new chain. In fact I would practice on removing a link from your old chain before attempting the new one.

You don’t need a master link with any chain.
Don’t pop the pin all the way through.
The only tricky bit is matching up the male and female ends of the link to fit. In other words if you pop a pin and make a male you will have to remove enough links to make a female to join the chain back together.
If the new link is stiff (normally is) apply some elbow grease to the equation and bend it laterally until it glides.
Chains are not rocket science, and you won’t learn how to manage one from reading alone – mate, just do it.
