Part C - Upload phpEventCalendar

Start your FTP software and after connecting to your web server, in your HTML root folder /var/www/html/, create the folder "calendar". Upload all the files to the /var/www/html/calendar folder.

Part D - Create Database

In a browser, go to the URL for the createtables.php file (eg, http://www.yourdomain.com/calendar/createtables.php). This step creates the database tables, and give you a link to the calendar if successful.
