Hi Josh,

What you see here is not completed. The code is still in development, and it isn't recommended that you install it, especially if you aren't comfortable with the editing of a SQL database and using PHP. There is a stable release; 2.0.11 and that (as can this) can run on any host with enough space, supports SQL and PHP. Most hosts come with Cpanel, and you can actually use something called Fantastico to install the latest version on one click (BUT MAKE SURE IT'S 2.0.11! Anything before that is vulnerable to an exploit).

Good luck!
