New install: followed 4 steps, and BONK!!

Hi there. The installation instructions here http://vanillaforums.org/page/InstallationInstructions state:

Download the package from GitHub. Unzip the package to the desired folder on your server. Create a database for Garden (named whatever you like). Browse to the folder in your web browser, and follow the instructions on-screen.
That's it!

Did that. and got a hopeless message saying Bonk, and no advice on what to do next.

So, "That's it!"?

Check this out: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/10522/extended-how-to-install-vanilla-2/ (specifically step 3). Hope that helps! I expect there will be a change to default to a more descriptive error during setup soon.
