Installing help?

Hello I'm no computer genius and I tried to read through all of the installing instructions and I don't understand a single bit of it, and I can't open php files on my computer.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this the simpler way please? Would love to try this product out!

Welcome to the site kiyoto :)

Can you tell us what you've already done, are you trying to run SMF on your local PC do you have hosting? Is PHP and your database setup?

kiyoto:
Hello thank you ^w^ and yes I was trying to run it on my local PC and I don't have hosting, also I don't know how to set up a PHP database, this is all pretty new to me

ziycon:
You can do it one of two ways, use a prebundled package like WAMP (http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/08/25/how-to-install-and-setup-apache-mysql-and-php-in-windows/) or you can install/configure all the separate pieces of software, which can take a bit of time to setup if its your first time (http://www.artfulsoftware.com/php_mysql_win.html).

kiyoto:
Ok I'll try the first one then lol
