Ok, before you do anything, you are going to need to buy some hosting. This site provides free hosting, but you will not get a domain and a number of things that are useful: http://www.000webhost.com/. Anyway, after you have that done follow these steps.
1. Download MyBB here: http://www.mybb.com/ You can get any version you want, but I will be using MyBB 1.6 in this tutorial.
2. Download a FTP client, FileZilla is a good one. Get it here: http://filezilla-project.org/
3. Create A SQL Databade Via CPanel, you will use this later.
4. Connect to your FTP, your host should look like this: http://ftp.yoursitehere.com and the user name should be the first 8 characters of your domain name (unless you have a domain lower then that, then it will be like yoursite) and the password should be sent to you.
5. Upload the MyBB files to public_html
6. Go to http://www.yoursite.com/install
7. Go Through The Installer
8. Your Pretty Much Done.
If I Missed A Step Tell Me. Also, If You Want To Install A Theme Download One And Put It In The Images Folder Via FTP. Then Go To Theme Management Through Admin CP.
