Installing ElfBB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download the newest tarball from http://elfbb.nikc.org/web/download.php

Unpack the tarball and make sure, that the file...
    
	config.php

...is writable from PHP. You can be absolutely sure by making it
world writable by commanding...

	% chmod 777 config.php

..or by changing the file properties in your ftp-program, if that is what
you're using.

Another thing you need to do, unless you choose to use MySQL, is to make
sure the data-directory and all the files in it (there's 3; lockfile, 
threads.xml and comments.xml) are writable from PHP. See above for 
instructions.

Now you're ready to configure Elf, which is easy. Just point your browser
to your installation of elf (e.g. www.domain.com/elfbb/index.php) and
add ?act=login to the end. (E.g. www.domain.com/elfbb/index.php?act=login)

The default password is 'admin' (without the single quotes). Browse through
the different categories, and customize your ElfBB, but don't forget to
press save before switching from one category to another.

Thank you for trying ELF!

PS. If you like Elf, I'd appreciate if you could drop a line, either into my
e-mail or onto Elf's official board at http://elfbb.nikc.org/
