I'm trying to play around with the facebook apps, and this is the first step.

This is what I think the commands mean
get facebook-platforum.tar.gz
unzip
to here

This is the folder that I'm playing in.
http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/facebook/

and right now I have the client folder inside like facebook/client but something isn't correct.

thanks

You're right about the first two, download and unzip.

Inside the file you downloaded there is some README stuff, a sample app etc. The actual API class (facebook_desktop.php, facebook.php, facebookapi_php5_restlib.php) is in the client/ folder - so the third command copies the appropriate files to the directory you want them in (i.e an includes/ directory)

If you're not comfortable with the command line you can always get the same result with your FTP client.
