Newb to Zabbix. Anybody have any suggestions to ease my way in?

I'm a junior net admin. The cyber-security guy in our organization has introduced Zabbix as a means of monitoring network and server stuff, but not only am I unfamiliar with this program, I'm almost completely unfamiliar with Linux in general. I'd like to download the program to mess around with it, and I've looked to do it on a VM running Ubuntu as well as my desktop on Windows 10, but with all the tarball and other Linux jargon I haven't gotten very far. Where do I start? and once I've gotten started, which aspects of the program should I look into for more of a network focus? If this is a retarded question. let me know if there's a better sub for it.

Thanks!
