bbpress works with wordpress so you have to install wordpress and then if you don’t want to use the bolg just don’t create articles.
@ricsca2
thanks for your comment.
I already have a WordPress blog.
Recently, I installed bbPress.. Now I am looking for a special template for the forum.
Not quite sure if this is the answer, but if a good looking bbpress is what you are after, then this should help

bbpress does not have a template since it’s a plugin. You can style your bbpress via css so that it looks like your wordpress theme.
Alternatively, there are some wordpress themes which have built-in styles for bbpress.
You can check some in Themeforest: https://themeforest.net/search/bbpress

Very cool, excellent, very useful.
But I wanted two things that I couldn’t find:
1. There is no option to modify the number of characters in the title (default is 80 characters only).
2. I didn’t find an option to remove these large spaces around the “see green” username.
Thank you for every help..and I am waiting for your help in the last matter
This code will truncate the title
add_filter ('bbp_new_topic_pre_title' , 'rew_limit_topic_length' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_edit_topic_pre_title' , 'rew_limit_topic_length' ) ;
function rew_limit_topic_length ($topic_title) {
$length = 40 ;
if (strlen($topic_title) > $length) {
$topic_title = substr($topic_title, 0, $length);
}
return $topic_title ;
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use

for your second issue, it is site/theme specific, I’d need to see the site and a real example
try adding this to your theme’s custom css
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author, #bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-topic-author {
float: none;
margin: 0px;
min-height: 2px;
}
}
