You can click 'Run' to start the installation process immediately, but it is advisable to choose the 'Save' option instead and select somewhere memorable. This insures if you ever need to install the calendar again you already have the installer.

If you selected the 'Save' option, now navigate to the folder you chose and double click on the installer.

 

Step 2 - Security

After launching the installer, you may see a security warning. This is perfectly normal and is just asking your consent to install the program:
