Hi Linda,
Not sure what page you are referring to there, but I can answer your 
question.

You will need a computer running Linux, preferably Debian or Ubuntu.  
You should be able to find someone in your church community to install 
that for you.  Otherwise post to a Linux forum, you'll quickly find 
someone in your area (who may or may not charge for the service).

Once you have Linux installed, you (or your helper) can install Koha.  
The recommended method is from Debian packages (not by downloading the 
tarball):

To set Koha up for your library, the manual will be friend, plus you can 
post questions back to this list.  Welcome to the Koha community!
