What folder am I supposed to download OScommerce?

[CaseSenTeV]

I am new to this and would like to know if I download OsCommerce in cgi-bin or htdocs folder where all my files are? What is the best option?

The way I usually recommend is you download the ZIP to your PC and expand it. Copy the contents of the "catalog" folder to the place on your PC where you keep your htdocs files, then upload. So what in the zip file is catalog/index.php is now htdocs/index.php

Make sure you have created a MySQL database and user in OPS.

Then open yourdomain.com/install and proceed from there.

No osCommerce files should go in cgi-bin. (You could, but it would look silly.)
