Im trying to install PHP Nuke for the first time and can’t do it at all. Im stuck with the first instructions. How can I do this using Windows OS?

1. Create a database called, for example, nuke:

2. Now fill the databases with the tables in nuke.sql file:

3. In order to use the ultramode.txt news file please be sure to chmod 666.  
This file is used to show news from your site in some old programs and  
frontends and is reserved to future use in PHP-Nuke. For backend use  
backend.php file instead.

I know how to create the database, but cant do the  
mysql nuke \< nuke.sql part.

please help

thanks,

Leonel
