You would go online, download a forum package, then put it into the site's directory. Then you would set up the php.ini file, and set up the database, usually MySQL or some other proprietary. Then you would configure the forum, usually through an installer page (if you are using phpBB, vBulletin, or another phpBB spinoff), in which you would post information for admin settings and database information. Next, you would log in and customize settings for the users and administrators, and you would be done.

If you have your site professionally hosted (through a hosting site or something), then you should be able to access an Administrative Control Panel, and you should be able to have them set up a forum package on your site automatically. On my team's site, which uses GoDaddy.com, we were able to set up the forums through their site admin panel in about two minutes. It's MUCH simpler.
