XF 1.5 Importing MyBB database.

[Blast]

I'm having a hard time right now. When I'm trying to import, it requires me to have the MyBB data on the host. I got my backup from MyBB. Should I copy the whole thing first? Then upload to my new host and then install Xenforo on a subdomain?

Then after that, remove the MyBB files(while keeping the backup in desktop, just in case) and then transfer Xenforo to public_html?

Your backup should contain at least a database backup. That db backup would need to be restored to an active database on your XF server. This guide has restore instructions for a database backup:

By backup, I meant both Forum Database Backup + the whole files in FTP. I'll read the link you posted.

Thanks.
