First, are you going to run the forum off of your computer or have a host. If your own computer (it'll be harder if you don't have a little bit of understanding how servers/php operates) you'll need to get a webserver, the two main ones being IIS (on SOME windows os's, but not all) and apache. Then you'll need the php module. Then you'll need the mysql module. There are some popular packages that install all three for you. I've heard phpTriad is a popular one. It can be found here

After configuring everything and making sure php/mysql/apache(or IIS) are all working together properly, download the latest version of yabbse and follow the instructions carefully!

If you want to install them seperately, the links are:
www.php.net
www.apache.org
www.mysql.com

If you're going to use a host, you'll need one that offers php support and a mysql database. After getting set up with your host, once again follow the yabbse instructions carefully when you install.
