How to install this script?
Can someone please help translate these script installation instructions. I am new to this and need to know where to go to and what to do to complete each step. The instructions are as follows:
To perform this installation you will need the following software and server access and information.
1. PHP 4.0 or higher
2. Unix/Linux server not in safe_mode
3. Server must allow file_uploads(on)
Full install instructions.
1. Unzip TVint.zip and TVadmin.zip.
2. Upload the contents of TVint.zip to root(ie.www.public_html,etc)
3. Create one or more directories for output files (ie, resources)
4. CHMOD them to 777
5. CHMOD 755 404.php
6. CHMOD 777 404vars.php and 404.db
7. Create a directory called admin.
8. Upload the contents of TVadmin.zip to admin.
9. CHMOD 777 indextemplate.html, resultstemplate.html,
sitemaptemplate.html, keywords.txt, password.php and settings.php
Steps 1 & 2 are no problem, I have uploaded website files using ftp before and can do that part. I really need help with the rest. A translation into newbie language or a more detailed explanation of each step and where and how to perform it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

CHMOD is just changing file permissions on unix/linux servers. In your FTP program, right click on the file or folder (folder is the same as a directory) that you want to CHMOD. You should see an option called Permissions, or CHMOD. That's where you'll type in the number (777, 755, etc). It depends on the FTP program you're using, but CHMOD is a pretty standard thing.
To create a new folder/directory, right click somewhere in your file browser and you should see an option to create a new folder/directory.
