TestLink is a web based test management and test execution system. It enables quality assurance teams to create and manage their test cases as well as to organize them into test plans. These test plans allow team members to execute test cases and track test results dynamically.
TestLink is a GPL licensed open source project. All of the source code behind TestLink is freely available for download via SourceForge at http://www.sourceforge.net If you are interested in contributing to the TestLink effort feel free to contact us. There is no hidden fee - 100% free for using!

Short summary:
First, transfer the file to your web-server using whatever method you like best (ftp, scp, etc). You will need to telnet/ssh into the server machine for the next steps.
Next, untar/gunzip it to the directory that you want. The usual command is (1 step):
tar zxvf
OR (2 steps):
gunzip <filename.tar.gz>
tar xvf <filename.tar>
Total Commander, Winzip, and other programs should also be able to handle decompression of the archive.
At this point you may want to rename the directory to something different to 'testlink'. You should allow write access for logging, upload and template directories.
Check Installation manual and TestLink forum if you meet a problem.
