have you taken a look at the documentation?

 

copy the "catalog" directory to the root directory of your website via "cp -R" or "cp -a"

 

cd to the root directory of the website

 

cd to catalog

 

Set the permissions on includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php to 777 like this:

 

chmod 777 includes/configure.php; chmod 777 admin/includes/configure.php

 

cd to the admin subfolder:

 

cd admin

 

you need to edit the .htaccess file in the admin directory as there is no current real security scheme. Add on something like this to the bottom:

 

AuthUserFile /pathtowebsiterootdirectory/catalog/admin/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

AuthName "Username and Password?"

AuthType Basic

<Limit GET>

require valid-user

</Limit>

 

create an htpasswd file and user/password as below... it'll ask you for the password twice but will NOT show you what you are typing when entering the password... (it'll stay blank while you type)

 

hpasswd -c .htpasswd username

 

open your favorite browser and go to "http://www.yoursite.com/catalog" and it should redirect you to the install script... if not... then "http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/install/install.php"

 

follow the on-screen directions until you get to where it gives you the option to either go to admin interface or catalog

 

as a security measure, change the permissions on the configure.php files again:

 

cd /path/to/website/root/directory/catalog

 

chmod 444 includes/configure.php; chmod 444 admin/includes/configure.php

 

 

 

let me know how things turn out or tell me where I'm wrong :P

change <Limit Get>

to

 

<Limit GET POST PUT>
