1. Download the free version: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpbb/phpBB-2.0.18.zip
2. Extract all the files somewhere on your computer.
3. Upload all the files contained in the archive to a web accessible directory on your server or hosting account.
4. Change the permissions (CHMOD) on config.php to be writeable by all (666 or -rw-rw-rw- within your FTP Client)
5. Use your web browser to visit the location you placed phpBB 2 with the addition of install/install.php, e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/phpBB2/install/install.php, http://www.mydomain.com/forum/install/install.php etc.
6. Fill out all the requested information and hit Submit
7. Change the permissions (CHMOD) on config.php to be writeable only by yourself (644 or -rw-r--r-- within your FTP Client)
8. Click the Complete Installation button or revisit the location you entered above.

That should be it I guess.
