About to dive in....

I'm about to dive into this plug-in. To be frank, I'm a bit confused with the installation instructions posted. I'm still relatively new to the Pi but have figured out a lot of stuff, including how to image an sd card (using Balencia on my Mac) , configuring the Pi to connect to my wifi, ssh, VNC, etc. Reading the instructions though I see a lot of stuff that sms to duplicate those efforts. That leaves me a bit confused about exactly what steps I need to do if I've already got a functioning Pi and just want to add the iBeacon.
My questions, please assume I'm using either a PiZeroW, or a Pi 4B if that matters and I'v set it up for SSH and VNC connections plus already established my location and wifi connections:

- Can I just start with a current rasberrian (Buster) OS already installed?
If so, what packages (and from where) do I download the needed files to make the beacon function work?
Are there any things that I have to watch for when taking this shortcut?
