I forgot the password to a .zip file I made years ago. I used an online John the Ripper to get a hash, wtf do I do with the hash now?

I'm so confused. The tutorials online are really unclear and I'm pretty computer illiterate so I really don't know what I'm doing. Please send help.

I was told to use hashcat but trying to use it just made the file close. I've since downloaded the actual JtR program and hopefully I can use it? I wanna make the program actually do the cracking (brute forcing?) part to find what password the hash corresponds to.
