I was hoping someone here could help. I have an add-on that I want to load but the very first instruction is "Use phpMyAdmin or the command line mySQL tool to run the commands in install.sql"

Can someone tell me how I do that?

Thanks

Sign into the database you are using, then click on the database name in the left margin.
Click on the SQL button in the heading of the right side.
Use the Browse button to locate the install.sql file on your computer.
Click Go to upload and execute the file.

You'll have to setup your MySQL database first

In Member Ops | Packages | Billing Plan
- near the bottom - add your free MySQL database

Then create a username/password combination

Once that's done, you can log on to phpMyAdmin either thru
a) http://phpmyadmin.powweb.com/ (you'll need to remember your MySQL Host from the second step - mysql##.powweb.com)
or,
b) at the bottom of the MySQL page just below the usernames you created

Then you can use Richard's steps above.... :)
