It's pretty straightforward, but you need a bit of experience with FTP and directories on your server etc:

1. You need a mySQL database and user (and password) before you start.
2. FTP your efiction files (all of them) to the directory you wish to run it from (you can either unzip & FTP everything or upload the zip file and explode it on the server).
3. In the browser, go to your location (e.g. http://prettylittleliarsfanfiction.t15.org/) and follow the instructions.

Here's the information from the readme.txt

Brand New Install:

If you know basic web stuff like CHMODing, look below at step #1. If you have no clue what you're doing, just go to http://www.yoursite.com/ after uploading  all the files to your server.

1) If you intend to write the story texts to the server or allow image uploads, you must create a folder where these files will be stored. CHMOD this folder to 777. 
During installation, the script will ask you for the location of this folder. 
If this folder is missing the script will attempt to create it for you during the  install, but it is best if you create the folder yourself before beginning the installation script. 

2) Move config.php from the docs folder to the main eFiction folder.  This file was placed in the docs folder to help prevent accidental overwriting of config.php for upgrades. If the config.php is missing the install script will attempt to  create it, but it's best if you move it.

3) CHMOD config.php to 666. 

4) Go to http://www.yoursite.com/ to run the install and set up the admin login.

5) Login with the admin login and password set in step #4, and complete the configuration of your site through the Admin panel.
