You’ll have to select the “.iso” file you want to download… There are many options because antiX comes in 32 bit (386) or 64 bits (x64) versions, also each of those versions come in “net”, “core”, “base” and “full” (this are ordered in increasing features).
For a 64 bits computer (build in the last 10 years or so) I would advise downloading “antiX-19.3_x64-full.iso”

Then you’ll have to burn that iso file to a DVD-rom or make live usb pen-drive using that file…

Ok. First you need to understand there are 5 kinds of files there:
.iso contains the image of the antiX OS.
.iso.zsync you can ignore (related to synchronising between an already downloaded version)
.iso.sig you can ignore (related to verifying the .iso signature)
.iso.sha256 you can ignore (it is for verifying that the .iso selected downloaded properly and is not corrupted)
.iso.md5 you can ignore (the same as .iso.sha256 but checking the file integrity with md5 algorithm sum check)
So the only important ones for you are .iso files.

Second, you need to know what architecture you need/want.
Are you looking for 32 bits system? Then make sure it contains 386 in the file name.
Do you want a 64 bits antiX system? Download the file containing x64 in its name.

Third, selecting the prefered antix edition.
If you wan everything (Libreoffice, synaptic, gdebi, printer configuration, bluetooth, extra icon themes, etc.), select FULL edition. Most users will select this edition.
If you just want a working system with a smaller amount of apps, select the BASE edition.
If you want to build in terminal (ala Arch linux) without any graphical environment, select core edition (only for experts).
If you want to build from terminal an you are only connected thorugh ethernet (and don’t want/need wifi connection), use the net edition (only for experts).

See if this guide that anikagui created also helps:
