i’m trying to set up a forum using bbpress at awardspace.com.

trouble:

i unzipped bbpress 2.0 on my desktop, then i uploaded ALL the files to awardspace in a folder called bbpress. i visited mysite.com/bbpress/ and there’s no installer. it’s just blank.

questions:

is bbpress a plugin for wordpress? like should i install wordpress on the server first? i’m completely new to these things…

or

should i set up a database first? then go to somewhere and find the installer??

or

should i just set up wordpress and install a wordpress forum plugin??
