Installation Tutorial - Nasyr - Oct 7, 2014

So today we are going to be doing a full MyBB installation.
The version we will be installing is MyBB 1.6.15.
So first of all you'll need the MyBB Files, download them here - DOWNLOAD
Once you have those you'll need a hosting, I'll be using SPAM since this is a tutorial - SPAM

STEPS

Step 1

Sign up at SPAM and then click to add a new website and do as I have done below.

Then click to create the account.
Keep refreshing till the account is made, it only takes a few seconds.

Step 2

So now you have the MyBB files and now you have hosting so lets jump forward and locate MySQL
Once you have found that quickly make the database.

Remember the Database you made? Now it goes into action!
So go gather those details if you didn't already have copied them down.
Fill it in nice and simple.

Step 6

Once you do the rest of the Database follow on with the set-up till you hit Board Configuration

Hi, i would like to show you a site where they have myBB but their layout is really nice. It's almost like hackforums however a bit different. I would like to ask you if there is any free way to obtain the layout etc. PM me and i'll give you the link. I don't want to post it here as i don't know if it's against the rules somehow.
