Does this help?

Surge is a plugin synth, not a standalone program. To run it you need a DAW (digital audio workstation) or other host that can support VST3 or (on mac) AudioUnit plugins. If you do not have a host program you will not be able to run surge.

There are a variety of free and paid hosts that work. Cubase, Reaper, Live, Logic, Bitwig, and Fruity Loops are among the popular paid hosts and many are multi-platform. For free hosts: on Linux Ardour and Carla are popular free hosts. On mac GarageBand works with surge, Hosting AU is a free light AU wrapper which can run surge. On Windows SaviHost is a free wrapper. But there are many more - this list is illustrative not exhaustive.
