Purchased Microsoft Office with new Macbook Air and can't get it to work

I purchased Microsoft Office Home & Student from Apple with my new MacBook Air and received a product key card. I was able to download the software from Microsoft but cannot get it to open or function. My computer gives me this error:

You can’t open the application “OfficeSetup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS.

Please help.

You downloaded the wrong file. exe files are Windows executable files. You need to download and install the Office version for Macs.
