This is a guide to help these people who do not know how to install MYBB.
I will be releasing more guides on other installs, and help for certain aspects of MYBB.
This Thread might not have a nice layout please give me pointers and i will edit.
1) Again Download FileZilla if you don't already have Link
2) Upload into the Public_HTML -
[align=center]
[/align]
3) Then type, www."yoursite"/Forum/install
Forum is if you have put the files into a forum directory if you have put them directly into Public_HTML then it will be www."yoursite"/install
4) You will then be greated by step 1, just press next as this is not important.
You will then have step 2 which will state if the files are writable.
If errors appear then you will need to edit the permissions, you can do this using FileZilla.
- Find the Files, Right click and go "File Permissions" edit the numbers underneath, they more than likely just needing to be changed to "777"
If not then, errors on step 2 should explain it.
5) Step 3 will appear now, which is where you need to input your database info.
Which is easy to do-

You should be able to reach your SQL databases in your Cpanel, (IF you do not know how to add a database you need to think whether you should be in control of a Forum as Forums aren't fun and games)
(If you would like the image of the database then post and i will add it)
6) Step 4 is next, you just need to input the Forum Info, Name, Url, Your Email.

[/align]
7) Next is you Admin info, this is just simple. (not posting screenshot)
Then you done, It's always a good idea to delete your Install directory for a security Measure.
I Hope this has atleast helped some people, if you need more info or would like a new guide on a certain aspect of MYBB, please post and i will happily oblige.
Good Luck on your Forums
