    there is no "lidgren program"

    lidgren is a network library. The rest (client logic, packet, processing, the whole backend server solution etc) is up to you and your development team

    You drop the library into your unity client project and develop scripts that use it to communicate with a server, that interpret the data and inform the right objects of the work they are meant to do.

    thats it.

    there is nothing "to start". lidgren does not offer you a server backend or anything alike. Its your duty to develop them over the next 2-3 years to the point where they become usable

    check the downloads.

    should you not know what a .net assembly is, ask one of your 2+ programmers on the team (if you don't have any, forget the mmo idea straight away, as you will not have any real nor unreal chance to create an mmo backend at all)
