Thank you

If you really just want to use the editor, open it up and go to "Files-->Import an HTML or DOCX file as a new book". Point it to your html file. That will make a new book with your file, and you can edit it straight away. There may be css and images somewhere in your folder; doing it this way, you will have to get them separately.
For a head start, you can use a conversion. If you do this, you can add metadata along the way:
It depends on what all you actually have in that folder. If all the text you want is in "index.html", then the easiest thing to do is add that html file to Calibre like any other book (it will show up as a zip file). Then convert it to epub. Look at it in the viewer to see what you have, and open the epub in the editor to fix it up if necessary. Again, you'll have to get any extras manually with the editor.
If it came with other files, you may have another folder associated with the html file (it may be called "files"). This might contain css, images, and so on. If you have this, it's probably already inside the main folder you got. Just try adding the whole folder as a book, and converting it; this often works. And if the extras are there, you get them automatically.
