How do I get to finish it up from the login process where it says to login on my web with my ip address and what are the code I need on my laptop to complete the process and fully install it
 
Sounds like it is successfully installed. Use a different computer (on the same local network) to connect (via a browser) to the URL shown on the login screen to manage your first enterprise (clustered) hypervisor remotely. If you really want, you could run Linux command-line programs to do things (and that is useful for troubleshooting) but I would recommend the Proxmox web GUI (via a different computer over the network).

EDIT: You can access the manual via the Proxmox web GUI locally using the Help button but also via this URL: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html

EDIT2: You do need to chose (during installation) an IP address that is inside your local network (and outside of the DHCP-range of your router). Otherwise you cannot connect to the Proxmox web GUI via the (local) network, Using the defaul 192.168.100.2 is a common mistake and also suggest that the cabled network connection is not working (or connected properly). Lots of threads about this on this forum.

EDIT3: Please decide on which thread you want to go through these basic steps for a beginner: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-do-i-login.139234/post-803721
