When I download the file I only get one main.scsd. not main.css

How do I follow along with split screen with main.scss and main.css?

It really depends what editor you are using. Try to google for your specific editor and "split screen" "vertical split" "open to the side".
I didn't watch this series so I can't be more specific.

Hope this helps.

This is because main.css is created when you have the Sass compiler watching your scss file. That will cause it to update it in real time adding to the css file while you're making changes in Sass as per his earliest videos about installing Sass.
