Well guys, I'm here to ask a question that quite a few of my friends aretoo timid to ask:

I need a clear rundown with installation. A REAL clear walkthrough. Existing instructions are made by coders for coders, I feel like an Italian kid trying to read Portugeese.

I am not a coder by any stretch of the imagination. I can screw around in HTLM in the most basic fashion. That's about it.
I download the files and I have no idea where to place them. I have this folder full of... stuff. Do I simply upload the folder via FTP and viola, instant wakaba page?

I have a Mac running OSX 10.8 and the '.pl' files do not open in browsers like the instructions say. I can open them in a txt reader and dick with it there.. but then what?.

Oh, I've already been to the Wakaba 'quick start' page.
I get instructions like "Start a database", "install thumbnailer" and "config Wakaba". I click to get details only to be told that 'text does not exist yet'. Not much help at all.

The server side of things is all clear, I know this because a friend of mine is letting me bum space from his domain and he already has a wakaba page... (which he forgot how to install also.)

There are a multitude of others that share my frustration.
This is my plea for getting the secret to getting this thing to work! Help me and I will erect a statue bearing your likeness.

Many Thanks!!!!!!
