Toscanini and ableton help

Hey guys ,
I am a newbie when it comes to max . Well i stubled across toscanini , which is a guestural interface using the texas instruments chronos watch.
I am having an issue as in how to use it to control parameters in ableton. Do i use it as a max for live midi porgram , or do i use the standalone max application. Any help is appreciated.
Here’s a link to the github page. “www.github.com/conductiveio/toscanini” , and also ” http://cycling74.com/project/toscanini-a-gestural-interface/ ” .
