You will need to have a webhost that has PHP and MySQL installed. Once you have that, in MySQL, create a database for your SMF-Nuke tables. You will need the following info to complete your SMF-Nuke installation:

• Database Hostname
• Database Name
• Database UserName
• Database User Password

1. Download SMF 1.1.4 from the Simple Machines Forum Download page: Click Here
2. In the root of your install, create a directory named: forum
3. Upload the SMF files to the forum directory
4. CHMOD (change permissions for) the following files to 777 (fully writeable, sometimes 755 on some hosts)
• forum/attachments
• forum/avatars
• forum/Packages
• forum/Packages/installed.list
• forum/Packages/server.list
• forum/Smileys
• forum/Themes
• forum/agreement.txt
• forum/Settings.php
• forum/Settings_bak.php
5. Upload the SMF-Nuke files to your root directory (except the nuke.sql file)
6. Go here using your web browser: www.YourSiteURL.com/forum/install.php
7. If all the folders above were properly set to 777, the first empty input should be asking for Forum Name.
• If not, make sure the above files are all set to 777 and refresh the page.
8. When all permissions are properly set to 777, continue filling in the boxes for the install.
9. When you see the Congratulations page, SMF database tables are properly installed.
10. Also, the Nuke database tables are already installed, and your site is basically ready to use.
11. Next, you will need to modify the SMF Themes you wish to use.
12. Themes are located in the forum/Themes folder
13. Follow the link on the Home Page here to find the Theme modifications.
