That's sweet of you!
I followed the instructions on
https://friendi.ca/resources/installation/
word for word, i.e.
1. uploaded the directories (including addons)
2. renamed the .htaccess-dist to .htaccess (it's an Apache server)
3. Created a database and had the details at hand.
4. Went to https://friendica.penkagram.me in order to start the installer.
and what happened was:
The installer didn't start, but went redirecting me into
[url]/index.php/install/install/install/…
