What operating system ? You generally need to install LMMS. Just downloading it isn't enough to do anything useful.

Welcome to the forum! First, For you llamaking, all important links:

And Steve is right. After dl you need to install LMMS :

On windows computers: Go to the folder you use as your download-folder, and locate the File named:
lmms-1.1.3-winXX.exe
-where 'XX' is either '32' or '64' depending on your choice
Double-click or choose run. You need to be Administrator!
Point the installation to a partition with at least 2 gb free space.
The actual install is much smaller, but you will soon start to download sound-collections, and they can be huge, so recommended is 4-5 gb!

The installation does everything that is needed. After you have installed, you should also have a shortcut on the desktop. Double-click, or choose run from the context-menu, and your LMMS should open.
