It's a 11GB image file (plenty of soundfonts) compiled for Raspberry Pi 3. (You need BitTorrent software to use the torrent file to actually download the large image file)

Download Zynthian "Gorgona" SD-image
These SDcard images include all the Zynthian software, properly configured for the standard hardware -- ready to use. Plug and play!

Use Etcher (free software works on Mac, Windows or Linux) to write the image onto the SDcard. Or do it manually! There is a really good manual for this at this link.
