With a traditional 12-equal tuner, one method to get quite close is to fret either A, D, or G on each string and get that in tune. For more precise 41-equal tuning, use a tuner that directly supports 41-equal. The following options are all free-of-charge and most are FLO (Free/Libre/Open) and fully support 41-equal with appropriate names and tuning calibration capacity:
