Hey Silvam,
you downloaded the wrong blender version.
You need version 2.79 and you can download it from here:

https://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.79/

I also wrote this in the tutorial and why you should use that version istead of the new 2.8X versions... but most important is that all the references in the tutorial are of blender 2.7 ....
I don't know about blender versions from steam... steam is not necessary for using blender... you can even download a zip version where you don't even need to install it and you can just use it
just from its folder... but I recommand downloading the installer version. The Blender version2.8X might be more user friendly at the beginning but there are a few killerarguments for using 2.7
instead....most important: The new version doesn't habe the blender internal render engine anymore which is needed for baking textures and the alternative is more than 10 times slower...
also the baking proces itself is much more complicated with the new version.
