The Radium ecosystem is composed of

Radium Libraries: this project (see documentation here: https://storm-irit.github.io/Radium-Engine/). Contains the Radium libraries.
Radium Apps (https://github.com/STORM-IRIT/Radium-Apps): contains several applications, including MainApp, which is for now the default software with GUI. This repository also demonstrates command-line applications.
Radium Releases (https://github.com/STORM-IRIT/Radium-Releases): meta-repository generating precompiled binaries for Radium libraries and its applications.
Radium Plugins Example (https://github.com/STORM-IRIT/Radium-PluginExample): contains plugins examples, demonstrating how to write, compile and use plugins with MainApp.
Radium Official Plugins (https://gitlab.com/Storm-IRIT/radium-official-plugins): general purpose plugins.

Which repository should I use ?

Depending on you needs, you may want to:

Use Radium as a viewer and processing software, with graphical user interface. That's the most simple case: simply download the latest release, and run. See https://github.com/STORM-IRIT/Radium-Releases/releases.
Contribute to Radium, or develop your own application of plugin: Radium Libraries is the default and mandatory repository you need to fetch first. If you only want to use Radium, compile and install it (see documentation). Then, - If you want to contribute to the application or plugins developments, fetch and compile the Radium Apps and Radium Official Plugins respectively. - If you want to write your own application of plugin, checkout the HelloRadium and Radium Plugins Example projects.
