It's pretty easy, actually. You extract the download file into a directory that can be seen from the web, then just point your browser at like install.php . The options it asks are pretty straightforward.

It seems, though that threaded view is not supported, so you only get a list of subjects that you have to click on to get to posts. In this case, I agree; $54 might be worth it.
