Installing Arcadem 2.x is relatively simple.

1. First, upload all the files onto your web host using your favorite FTP client (Agares Media recommends the open source FTP client, FileZilla)
2. Next, using your favorite web browser (Arcadem is optimized for FireFox 2) goto http://www.yourdomain.com/install/ where “www.yourdomain.com” represents the domain you’ve uploaded the files to. If you’ve uploaded them to a sub-directory, such as /public_html/arcadem/ then make sure you’re point the browser to the correct location
3. Follow the on screen instructions. You will need an empty MySQL database setup, along with a user who has full read/write permissions to the database. This can be done using phpMyAdmin or another database administration tool. If you’re unsure of how to do this, consult your web hosting company for instructions.
4. Once you’re done, delete the /install/ directory
5. Next, you will want to upload your Game Packs. Game files go in the /arcade/ directory and images go in /arcade/img/  You will have to log into your admin panel through browser at the /admin/ directory, the goto the Games menu and select Gamepack Wizard.  It will step you through the process of uploading and installing your game pack.
