Copy the Library from the Pictures Folder on the old machine to the same location on the new machine. Then you need to open the library with Photos, the app that replaced iPhoto 7 years ago.
iPhoto was discontinued 7 years ago. It is no longer developed or sold. It was replaced by the more powerful (and free) Photos.app that comes with the OS. You can do that very simply:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point at your iPhoto Library. It will do the rest.
