PageLines installs in the same way a theme installs on WordPress. You can install PageLines directly through WordPress or via FTP to your hosting server if you prefer.
You must be using the self hosted version of WordPress available through http://www.WordPress.org. Many hosting providers will offer this version of WordPress as a one click install through their services.
