 * I just downloaded WordPress and tried to install it, when I get an error that
   there isn’t a config file, I go and look through my files and there is no config
   file. I’ve downloaded the package twice and still no config file.

 * you use the `wp-config-sample.php` file that comes with the zip if you read the
   instructions
