I am a new user so please bear with me. I was following the HCL installation guide and i got php installed , and got mysql installed and created the table. My problem is it ask's me to upload the HCL folder and use chmod to modify permissions i suppose. I was wondering where do i need to upload the folder to. Thank you for your help in advance.

Are you attempting to install on a local machine?  Bear in mind that HCL is designed to "live" on your web server, as the outside world needs to be able to access it.  I really isn't designed to sit behind a home/business router and be on the local network.
