2) unzip and place the contents in the directory on your server where you want them.
3) create a new database.
4) create a user and give this user full rights to the new database
5) change the permissions of config.php to 666.
6) point your browser to install/install.php and fill in the required info there. It will ask for things the hostname (usually localhost), database (what you made in 3) and username (what you did in #4).
7) the installation process should tell you to delete some thing(s), make sure you do that.
