Afraid I don’t know, the jam packs install themselves and they contain many synths as well as loops. As to the initial MainStage screens, I forget how I did it, it wasn’t all that impossible though. I suggest a little sighted help with this one if necessary. As I recall, one sticking point was the app downloading some initial loops/synths and not telling me what it was doing. I had no way to know that it was doing its business and that I should wait a while. it took a while to bring down the initial 2GB of stuff. Once the initial download was complete, there was a instrument selection screen where it wanted me to choose a midi instrument, like a connected keyboard or something. I didn’t have a connected midi instrument and so clicking around got me past that initial setup screen. I then went into the menus and found options for downloading additional content (the jam packs) and selected everything and just let it go crazy downloading stuff - took hours- so do it before calling it a day and it should be done win the morning.
