What do you mean? The digital content here is generally mean to reference during play or for access to character builder options. I'm fairly certain that that adventure isn't available for Maps content (under the Tools tab). And WotC hasn't launched their own VTT yet.....
So....please explain more what you are wanting to accomplish.

"setting up" a campaign on DDB means following the links a the top of the site to get to the Campaigns page and clicking the blue "New Campaign" button. send some friends the link the campaign gives you (it'll be in an obvious box on the screen) so they can follow it to link their characters. After they're all in, you'll need to go through and create the encounters yourself from whatever it says in your book (assuming you want to track those online instead of pencil and paper in person). one day they'll get the upcoming MAPS thing out of beta so we can all try it. supposedly it'll do all the encounters and maps and dice itself in one spot. but not yet.
having no easy "maps" thingy you're left with a few choices: you can print out player maps from the adventure you bought or find a digital host for maps or plonk a whiteboard on your table and draw things yourself. or there's always "theater of the mind" where everyone just sorta has to imagine where their people are at all times. dice can be rolled from the encounters or maybe from your digital host or, obviously, with real dice if you're at your own table.
...if you thought buying an adventure was like buying a videogame that just works? no, sorry. basically, D&D is more a boardgame but with extra parts you make yourself. DBB is just there to streamline the character creation/management portions. even if you're playing in-person with paper and miniatures and physical books it's still incredibly helpful to have digital access to characters (on a table, phone, or just to print out just before a session). good luck!
