[scribus] Unable to install Scribus

[Peter Mt. Shasta]

I have the latest MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.1, but it doesn’t say if that is Mountain Lion or not, so don’t know which software version to download, so I downloaded the first option available for the Mac OS X 10.9 or above. Then the next question is how to download the Ghostscript. The Apple Store says it is not available for US distribution.  The other options all list dire warnings for using the wrong version, so where can I get the right version?  If the installation is this difficult it seems the program itself must be only for geeks. Sorry, I’m in the process of switching from Windows XP and am not so knowledgable on the Mac. Thanks for any assistance!
