Actually the install itself is not included, but you WILL get support on how to install it, either via the forums (and there are already several topics out there about it) or even through tickets. They won't log in and do it for you, bu tit is actually quite easy to install.

Basic question but I honestly don't know the technical answer behind this ? therefore I figure I ask before I jump.
Will CPANEL file manager work for upload and install? I notice many say it's not a good way to upload therefore one should use a FTP client. I can't find info if filemangaer will work. TY

Yes it will.
Option 1:
Unzip the XF zip file on your computer then upload every file one by one.
Option 2:
Upload the XF zip file then unzip it on the server.
(You cannot upload a folder with cPanel)

TY Please excuse the newbie questions but I am still learning....This install will go into>CPANEL via /home> (mywebiste folder) domain dot com (folder) correct? the sud directory of my webiste.com folder correct?
therefore install directory will look like this:CPANELFILEM /home/username/mysite.com/forum

Your Xenforo installs into the public_html directory, or a sub folder. Addons go into various sub-folders. This will be clearer when you look at the zip files.

Ok, I do apologize I tend to jump in quickly...following your links.
What's there to elaborate? A connection where both password and file content are not encrypted and authenticated just screams "please read the password and change the uploaded files" (and with full control over all website files, there are many things an attacker can do).
In times not just the NSA, but many ISPs routinely sniff, and >90% of home routers are completely insecure too (anything from default password and missing updates, to AMT etc.etc), getting to a point where your connection can be read isn't hard either.
