I have detailed download and installation instructions for you in Q03/A03 of the Mac "Frequently Asked Questions" tutorial. Scroll down until you find
How do I install OpenOffice on a Mac?
If Safari doesn't like the download read:
Q65: How can I tell Safari to allow download of AOO from SourceForge?

I know you are new to using forums, but realize that "I cannot" tells us nothing except that you have some sort of trouble. We need to know details about the specific problem you are experiencing. To get assistance you should specify:
• The exact step you are taking
• What happened
• What you
expected to happen instead
For example you could say this instead:
• I used Safari to download the full installation of 4.1.10 English for OS X from site https：//
www.openoffice.org/download/• Safari says the download was successful but OpenOffice isn't in the App Store
• I expected Safari to put OpenOffice in the App Store so I can install it, but it is not there
This hypothetical case illustrates how the process can be correct but the expectation is incorrect because OpenOffice is not installed from the App Store, as explained in Q03/A03.

Apple includes a text processor, spreadsheet, and presentation manager with MacOS. Their iWork products are already installed on your system.
Q59: Can I exchange documents between OpenOffice and iWork, Apple's office suite? These products are somewhat different than OpenOffice, but you may find them more convenient because you don't need to install them, and Apple will keep them updated as you update MacOS. If your needs are simple, perhaps your software should be simple too. Apple's products are designed to be easy to use for people accustomed to the Mac way of doing things.
If you have other questions about using OpenOffice on your Mac, quickly review the other Mac FAQ subjects first, since you might find an answer and won't need to wait for a response. Many of the questions asked here in the Mac OSX forum are already answered in that tutorial.
