How do you use an electric guitar/bass tuner?

My brother just bought me a guitar cuz I want to learn how to play,
and it’s very very out of tune. He got me an electric guitar/bass tuner, and I have no idea how to use it. I don’t have any friends that play the guitar, so I don’t know anybody that can help me. I also have tried tuning it with the piano, but that just got kind of confusing. If you need to know the notes and cords and stuff for this, I don’t… so PLEASE BE AS SPECIFIC AS YOU CAN, PLEASE!
all you need to do is play the string and the tuner automatically knows what string it is (make sure that it is on the guitar setting). A line will appear and when it is in the middle, the string is in tune. The only problem is that your string can’t be way out of tune or else it wont sense it. Most tuners have reference notes( A humming noise) You need to match the pitch of the humming noise and whatever string it says it is
The skinniest string is e
then B
then G
then D
then A
Then the fattest string is a E
They are also referred to as strings 1,2,3,4,5,and 6
1 being the skinniest and 6 being the fattest
good luck.

There should be an arrow probably, turn it on and strum the low string(the fat one) tune it so the arrow points straight up
then tune all the strings:
e b g d a e
