Good evening,
I am writing here in this forum tonight as I am in need of some advice in regards to installing a toilet.
I purchased the following toilet with the below specifications:
Dolina Modern Bathroom Toilet
Toilet Specifications:
•Soft Close Toilet Seat
•One Piece Toilet
•S Trap: 12" Rough In
•Eco Friendly
•Dual Flush Toilet (1.6 Gallon Full Flush/ 0.8 Gallon Half Flush)
•Toilet Seat Height 17.5"
•FACTORY DIRECT PRICE

Installing instructions on the following link:
https://www.theinteriorgallery.com/files/All-toilets-Installation.pdf
I have zero experience in installing toilets but decided to do the work myself while remodeling my house.
Below is the current picture of my main pipe where the old toilet was installed.
Note that there are two Johnny bolts by the side of the pipe and the Dolina toilet has the holes not on the same place as the old toilet, but towards the back.
The toilet itself came with only the parts that are displayed on the pictures below.
2 screws, caps, plastic washers and the plastic pieces. (sorry my terminology is not accurate, but you get the point.
1. Is this toilet European style and can it be installed on my house? I live in the USA
2. What kind of flange do I need ? As there are different types, universal, wax ring etc..

3. The install instructions above show that I will need to drill holes in the floor and fix the toilet? Can this be done on my case? I went to a plumbing vendor and he said that he has never seen this kind of toilet and it required to drill holes on the porcelain toilet itself.
If you were on my situation what other parts from what I do not have will you need to purchase in order to install this toilet? What parts am I missing that I need to purchase?
Thank you in advance for your time and help
