This is the way most people do it. It's easy, but can take longer. First, extract the archive -- usually by right-clicking the archive and selecting the "Extract All" option. A new folder should be created, with all the files and directories in the correct places, when the {{lcfirst:{{{1|install}}}}} archive is extracted. Second, set your FTP client for binary transfer, select all the files and folders and copy them to the directory where you want to locate your forum. | |||

Second, select the extract option to extract the archive to the desired location -- the directory where you want your forum to be located. | Some control panels, such as cPanel, give the ability to extract an archive right on the server.
