Hi Lee,

Make sure, the file name is "FIRST_INSTALL" (not "FIRST_INSTALL.php",
not "first_install", not "first_INSTALL", not "FIRST_INSTALL.txt",
etc.).

The file must be located in the root folder. Let's assume, your
DocumentRoot is "htdocs". The file/directory structure should look like
the following:

htdocs/
htdocs/typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-7.6.16
htdocs/index.php -> typo3_src/index.php
htdocs/typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3
htdocs/FIRST_INSTALL
typo3_src-7.6.16/

Files "typo3_src", "index.php" and "typo3" are symbolic links and I
have assumed, you're using TYPO3 version 7.6.16. Adjust the version
number for other versions as required.

You find a quick overview of the commands you can execute to install
TYPO3 on the "What's New Slides".

https://typo3.org/download/release-notes/whats-new/

Slide number 106 of the TYPO3 v8 LTS release if you use the
"traditional installation method", slide 107 for the "composer method".

As Riccardo pointed out, file INSTALL.md provides some basic infos as
well.

For a complete documentation how to install and/or upgrade TYPO3, have
a look at the official "Installation and Upgrade Guide".

HTH, Cheers.
