redirecting forum to a sub directory help

[audiokid]

Currently my forum is on the root but want to put in in a sub directory like it is here on xenForo.( https://xenforo.com/community/forums)
What steps to a do to assure everything will redirect?

What do I add to the .htaccess etc?
Am I correct to assume I simply create a sub directory called "community", drag all but a few xenforo files into that folder, re-point my database to community?

Thank you for any help

Thanks Brogan, that was perfect.
last question,

After I make these changes, are their any xenforo files I leave in the root? example :robot.txt, sitemap.php etc?
Would the community directory permission be 755?

Thanks again,

All of the XF files need to be moved to the new directory (including the XF .htaccess file).
All that should be left in the root is a new .htaccess file with the rewrite stuff.

In general perms should be 0644 and 0755 for files and directories respectively
