Hi Roland,

You need to download the source package too. And... You need to read a 
lot more about TYPO3. Look here

http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Overview_Installation

You might want to start with TYOI3 Installation Basics (under doucments 
in progress) although it's not finished yet and then go back to the 
finished documents.
