There's an instruction file packed in the zip. Basically, you'll upload everything to the server, chmod specific files to the appropriate values, create the database for SMF, and then point your browser to www.yourdomain.com/folder/install.php. And then go from there. I highly suggest your read the installation guide, though, as it gives you a thorough explaination of each step.
