It's pretty straight forward Alex.

Do you work locally over MAMP ? or from a remote dev server ?

Either way :
1) Download the file :http://www.concrete5.org/files/4514/0598/0239/concrete5.7.0b1.zip...
2) Extract the file into your root folder
3) Without any changes your file structure will look something like this :
/concrete5.7.0b1/concrete5.7.0b1/
4) Create your database using either phpMyAdmin or from the settings pages of your host
5) Hit the Install URL :
/concrete5.7.0b1/concrete5.7.0b1/index.php/install/setup
6) Just click through the process

Very easy.

It's also outlined here :

Thanks for your reply, I use MAMP and know the procedure you describe (except the last step), however is this (your link) the latest version? It's not in that way what's on github, no? AFAIK the github version needs to be some kind of processed/built before being finished?

Sorry, this is just new - I guess then in the master-file on Github the "web"-folder corresponds to the webroot and can be installed with your install-path?

-Edit: no, it didn't work. (But your version worked)

Hmmmm . yes I think you are correct Alex.

The GitHub version seems to be missing some controllers/ for my install on MAMP.

I'll investigate myself, and if I am successful will post back here!

Yes – that beta link is slightly older than what's in github – but you don't have to run through all the many tasks to build it the way you do when working on the github build. You can just download it and install it. When we do our full 5.7 release it will work this way as well.
