Hi,

Usually you would download the MyBB release package to your site, then upload the files using an FTP client such as FileZilla. Please see our installation documentation for further information: https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/install/
Some hosting providers allow you to install MyBB through softaculous, a one-click installer using which you can simply enter a few credentials and get MyBB running
