Need help setting up PHP for my website

due to a sudden massive burst in traffic on my site and the demand for multiplayer poker....i went ahead and got a copy of phppoker from phppoker.net

and im in dreamweaver right now and i have absolutely no idea what to do with all the PHP files in the ppoker folder.

im a real newby to php

I uploaded the ppoker folder to my public_html file and did the 1st step but now im stuck on "run installer"

These are the instructions in the ppoker folder:

SELF INSTALLER

- CHMOD includes/config.php to 777

- Run Installer

- CHMOD includes/config.php to 644

- CHMOD avatars directory to 777.

i did the 1st step...but now i have no idea how to run the installer...theres an install file with an index.php file in it and a poker.sql file as well but when i click the index.php a pop up comes up asking me if i wanna open the file or save it.

what does it mean by "run installer"?

i finally figured out how to change file permissions but now im lost

I think it means to install the poker.sql file, I believe you are going to need mysql installed.
