Why can't I get this oh so important media server

This is the second time I have tried to get Plex and feel like I have to cancel because this Plex Media server thing. I downloaded the app on the roku and my phone and neither will let m download this media server or even use the app without it. I have tried to download it on the laptop but it always stops downloading at 81.7 and says unknown file. I have tried from my Android phone but I clearly can’t get anything to download either. I have used every step in the help and support section and nothing works!! How do I make this work and why is it necessary what about a just download and login like most apps out there? A family member uses this Plex but someone set it up for them I like the app and convince of it. I need help getting it working I have worn out my options??

For plex apps on devices you need the Plex Media Server to be installed and running on a PC, Mac or linux machine or NAS.

The download file is about 100Mb so you do need a good internet connection to download the file on the PC
You can download the Plex Media Server from plex.tv/downloads

The following support page explains that it is a client-server implementation and the server software needs to be running before you use any client apps on roku or android or IOS etc
