First you need SMF installed(I am sure you have :P)
Now Once you have download TP Go to Admin > Packages and Upload it and install it like any other Mod.
If everything is fine, you got your New TP/SMF Combo.

See Packages (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=49.0;sort=subject) To know more about packages

is it supposed to take ages to upload smf 1.1.4 to my ftp?

am I doing this right? I have:
made a new directory called forum
I am now waiting for SMF to upload to it?

Then after that, do I just install TP to SMF? I might need some help doing that, never installed anything onto SMF before, and this is my first time making a forum.

It takes me around 30 mins to upload SMF but I have a slow internet connection.

After installing SMF it is usually very easy to install TP with the package manager located in the Admin section of the SMF forum.

I prefer to install it all in the root directory myself, thats because it is both my website+forum.

Questions about problems when installing SMF need to be asked in the SMF forums, not here.

Sorry!

Sure, it's the site you would have downloaded SMF from. The best place to start is http://www.simplemachines.org/support
