I also have the same problem, and the installation documentation is not detailed enough.

“Step 4.Visit the intended URL of the bbPress site” – does that mean the page on my WordPress site that I intend to use the bbPress forum or do I need to create some other page somewhere (if so, where?)?

And where is this mysterious istaller I was expecting to see in step 5: “5.You will be greeted with the bbPress installer”

Thanks!!

Just go to the directory where you want to install bbPress…

eg. http://www.denbeke.be/bbPress/

“Visit the intended URL of the BBPress site” is pretty self explanatory.

All you have to do is navigate to the URL where you put the files. It’s not rocket science.

You put the files in, for example, your “/forum” directory.

Navigate to “http://www.mysite.com/forum”

I really can’t think of how that could ever be put simpler.

As a side note, if you wish to integrate with WordPress, my advice is you upload the files into a sub-directory called “forum” within the WordPress directory.
