This is day one with Avolites.

Hello.
I am brand new to the professional console world. I come from a background of using Chauvet ShowXpress, so a lot of the terminology like palettes, etc are new to me.
My goal is to own my own Titan Mobile.
I visited the Avolites site and found the Get Started Page, unfortunately this is where I'm getting lost.
https://www.avolites.com/training/getting-started
At the bottom of the page it lists files that you will need to download in order to do the lessons, I thought.
One big confusion is that it has a link to download the Titan One Quick Start Guide, but in French. lol Anyways, I was able to locate an English copy online.
So I looked through the Quick Start guide, hoping that it would walk me through step by step of what to do with the other files and how to use them. No such luck.
Then I go to the top of the screen and watch the videos, thinking it might show me what to do with all these other files. Again, no such luck.
So...currently I'm left confused with a bunch of files on my computer that I have no idea how to use.
I was able to figure out that the Titan Simulator is a virtual space that emulates a controller.
I originally tried running Titan Mobile and quickly found out that this wasn't a virtual system, but the actual system that connects to a physical Titan Mobile Control Surface.
I'm assuming the Titan Show File - for consoles, is just that. You need a physical Control Surface running Titan Mobile in order to use that. So I didn't download that.
I downloaded the 2 patch lists, but not sure what to do with them. I was hoping either the videos or the quick start guide would say.
Titan One Show - 1 Universe - Not sure what to do with this either.
T1 Training Visualiser - When I open that a window pops up and show a stage with lighting. I'm assuming that can be controlled some how, just don't know how.
Capture Show File Visualiser - Again, opens a window with stage and lighting, but can't do anything to control it.
To me it would appear there are two training files here.
1) Titan One - Which I understand is the little dongle.
2) Titan - Operating System on the control consoles.
Am I correct in assuming that Titan is running on Titan One too?
Back to the beginning. My goal is to own a Titan Mobile. Very new to this. Looking to learn how to use what I have downloaded.
Please help.
Gratefully yours
