First things first: the Red LED is meant to stay on.
I don't know how familiar you are with Linux (your question regarding downloading software leads me to think the answer is 'not very'), but the reason why the image is delivered very barebone's is because thats how most people like it -- so that they can download what they need and customize it to their liking. This obviously makes it much less intuitive for newcomers.
So I have two suggestions for you:
1) take this as a challenge and learn a little about the command line and apt package manager thats used by Ubuntu. There are many good tutorials out there - google is your friend :
OR
2) decide that you don't want to learn too much about CLI at this time and download Armbian's Ubuntu Xenial image, which is much more user friendly.
