Can someone explain to me what I should do next.
1. I downloaded everything except this: Master RealTracks Content Installer (Pro 2021)
To use the "RealTracks Master Installer", first download the RealTracks files below. The Master Installer is a convenient way to install downloaded RealTracks files (realtracks*.exe). You do not need to use this file if you are downloading files via the Band-in-a-Box "Download Manager
2. Can you explain to me about this: The following RealTracks files can alternatively be downloaded using the Band-in-a-Box Download Manager. First, download Band-in-a-Box, run it (C:\bb\bbw64.exe), and activate (Help menu | Activate Band-in-a-Box). Then, run the Download Manager (Help menu | Utilities | Run Download Manager).
3. I downloaded all 10 of them
So now what should I do. I haven't ran/open nothing yet.
Thank you.

Glad you've got it all working camper! For anyone else who comes across this thread, there are two main ways to install everything into BIAB. You can either download all the RealTrack files and install them (which itself can either be done manually or using the "Master Installer") or you can use the built-in Download Manager which allows you to skip manually downloading and installing the Realtracks. We have tutorials on both ways of installing Realtracks here: Manually downloading: https://www.pgmusic.com/tutorial_downloading-realtracks.htmDownload Manager: https://www.pgmusic.com/tutorial_downloadmanager.htm

Welcome! I’m a newbie as well.
BIB is a great tool, but keep in mind, you will experience limitations within it.
Now create some music!

For anyone who happens to stumble across this thread in the future, as of the 2022 release, Band-in-a-Box now has the option of a Download and Install Manager that you can download and install to your computer, and once start, will download and install the whole program for you. As a note, for the UltraPAK and higher packages, when you plug in your URL link to get your download links, there's a little "upgrade" checkbox you will have to uncheck if you want to see all the older content and download that as well. This gives people the option to choose between downloading and install just the new content or all the previous content that came with the UltraPAK or higher. So if you ever are installing an UltraPAK upgrade fresh to a new computer with no prior copy of Band-in-a-Box on your computer, and you find that it seems like some RealTracks or Styles are missing, you might want to check that the "upgrade" box was unchecked! Just a little tip that may help future users! 
Cheers,
Ember
