If you want to have tp v098 ( most stable one ) you have a link for download in a stickytopic in this board

nope no good got this

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/usr431/home/e/r/ericmgat/public_html/forum/Packages/temp/./tp_install.php' (include_path='.:/usr/locl/lib/php') in /usr431/home/e/r/ericmgat/public_html/forum/Sources/Packages.php on line 552

Then you have to do the install manually as your server seem to have restrictions to the owner of the files ( Permissions )

This is what you have to read through and the steps you need to take to get tp installed the manuall way.
