What version of Mac OS does it currently have? Even the very first G4 (PowerPC) Mac mini came with Panther (10.3), so you must already have at least Panther installed.

Is this an Intel-based Mac mini running Lion (10.7) or later? If so, and that software is for PowerPC Macs, it will not work on Intel Macs.

Select About this Mac from the Apple menu. If it says "Intel" next to Processor, your Mac mini is not a PowerPC Mac. It cannot run Panther. If the Mac OS X version is 10.7 or later, it cannot run software for PowerPC Macs.

What does it say on the About this Mac window for Version and Processor?
