In your web browser, go to the Installer, e.g. http://*yoursite*.com/install_db.php

After the installation please, delete two installation files in the root directory: install_db.php and install_db.sql !

8. Using your CmmCMS
If the site http://*yoursite*.com appears as expected, you should now be able to log in as an administrator http://*yoursite*.com/admin.php with the username: admin, and the password: 123.
Make sure you change your password after the first login!
