You need php lol

http://www.php.net/ <Tells you what it is on the left. You also need mySQL> http://www.mysql.com/

If you don't have these no forum system will work. If you are hosted by someone, ask them to install php and mySQL for you .

Also, checkout the installing documentation here: http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=2.0
