Is highly recommended if you can run it, it is the reference client but, it requires downloading the entire blockchain.

Using what service did you attempt to buy the coins? You'll need to set up a wallet of some sort in order to receive/send bitcoins, if bitcoin core is too complicated there are simpler wallets available (such as a mobile wallet on your phone).

You can download bitcoin-core from [here](https://bitcoin.org/download)

But it's not highly recommended since you may need to download the whole blockchain.
