Hi Julio, Thank you for the answer.
I started writing the installation guide on this page: http://www.care2x.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_Guide I am still in the middle of the writing, but all screenshots are available and you should get oriented. Maybe I will finish the guide till the end of the week.
