There should be instructions/ an .NFO included in the release.

If not.. post a link to it here.

TBH That guide is self explanatory.

If you can't follow that, you really should be asking someone who is capable of doing it; to do it :)

config.php is just a text file. You can edit it with notepad or any other editor that does not insert any kind of formatting crap.

Answer a couple of questions to see if you're even ready for this step:

1. Do you have hosting?

2. Have you created a database?

3. Have you assigned a user with a password for the database?

4. Do you know if your database server is localhost or has a specific address?

If you answer no to any of the above, you are not ready to edit config.php.

Most Important In Your Config File.

PHP: 
$config['Database']['dbname'] = '';
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = '';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '';
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = '';

Server Name Should Be Your MySQL Server
