How can I open 'audacity' in GarageBand?

I bought the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, connected it to my Mac and it won't record. I did go to Focusrite to see if I did something wrong in the setup but that was good. I can hear my keyboard and guitar through headphones but when I hit record in garageband, the red strip is there but will not record. I went back to Focusrite and it talks about opening audacity. I cannot find that anywhere. Does anyone know where I find this audacity?

Thank you. I don't know what is happening but I should be getting a call from Focusrite tomorrow. I now get signals for my instruments and voice but it will not record anything in GarageBand. It shows the Scarlett so it's not that it doesn't recognize the interface. Something else is going on and I just don't know what it is. I have read article after article and wasted more hours than I care to think about. Hopefully this guy from Focusrite can help me. Thanks a bunch, have a great night.
