How do I download and install the Sibelius sound pack so that I can make a composition using virtual instruments in order to then export that composition.

Not enough info, which version of Sibelius are you using?

Assuming that 1) it's recent 2) it's a full version, not a trial and 3) you are a legit user, then it's available from the same place you downloaded Sibelius. You can access it via your Avid account.

It's a big download, around 24 GB!

There are alternatives, like Note Performer.

Yeah I have the full version I pay in monthly installments of £20 and am using Sibelius 8. I looked at my avid account and I could not find it. Is it clearly labeled or is finding it complicated I know alot of people have had this trouble.

You might like to visit the official Sibelius chat page, where the method of accessing and downloading the sounds has been discussed in greater detail. A search there will pay dividends. You could simply ask, but a search might get you the answer faster!
