LaTeX is not a stand-alone typesetting program in itself, but a document preparation software that runs on top of TEX. LaTeX is distributed through CTAN servers or comes as part of many easily installable and usable TeX distributions provided by TeX User Group (TUG) like TEX Live, and Mik TEX. For more distributions visit http://www.tug.org/interest.html#free .
It is also possible to use online service like Overleaf and Papeeria.

To use the template download/clone the entire parent folder and open it as a new project in your prefered TEX distribution. A good idea would be to save the template as a seperate project, duplicate it, and work on the duplications as specific projects according to need.
