 - mkdir wordpress-svn
 - cd wordpress-svn
 - svn co https://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ .

 config.php
 - pick your language (e.g. English) and click continue
 - On the welcome page ( step=0 ), click Let’s go!
 - On the connection details page (step=1 ) enter the details including a
 table prefix other than wp_ (e.g. wp99_) and click Submit
 - On the sparky page (step=2), click Run the Installation
 You’ll be sent to http://localhost/wordpress-svn/build/wp-
 admin/install.php?language=en_US and see

 Already Installed
 You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear
 your old database tables first.

 - Open build/wp-config.php and note that all your connection details are
 present EXCEPT FOR the table prefix
 - Change the table prefix to whatever you set using your favorite editor

 - Refresh http://localhost/wordpress-svn/build/wp-
 admin/install.php?language=en_US

 NOW, you’ll be on the “famous five-minute” install page, where you can
 complete installation.
