How basic do you need?
Do you have suitable webspace to run these scripts from? Does it support databases and php scripts? Do you have ftp access? Have you ever installed any web scripts before?

Make sure you read the installation instructions in the doc directory very carefully and ask about anything you're not sure about before you start.

Kelli,

You might find more answers in the "installation support" section of the forum, as it appears your problem is better suited to that category.

Have a look through some of the posts there.

BTW ... if you have access to Fantastico, through your hosting service, you might find it a LOT easier to install b2evo through that automatic service. (just an idea)
