Hello, I would like to install NodeBB.
I do not have access to Putty.
I use a webpackage from my hoster.

what web host are you using?

Manitu.de (German Host)

It looks like that hosting service only provides shared hosting, which doesn't work for NodeBB. You'll have to use a different host, one which provides virtual private servers (VPS), like DigitalOcean.

Hello there!

NodeBB is designed to work best under a virtual private server. Using a traditional hosting service is not recommended as they do not have the capabilities to power NodeBB effectively.

The code and instructions can be found here at our project repository
Full instructions can be found in our Documentation Portal
We recommend DigitalOcean to host your NodeBB, you'll get a month free just by registering with this link. You can also try applying the 10TOSHIP coupon to get another two months free, and as an added bonus, you'll be helping us out too!

Thank you for your interest in NodeBB!
