After instaling a software, it is common to run a setup file and
follow the instructions, but there are no instructions! Do I have to
restart PHP like Apache or MySQL? What am I doing wrong???
Did you look at their website? Their installation instructions are
quite clear.

They probably don't tell you to rename the file because you don't have to. If you don't know what a breakpoint is, you need to get some basic instruction in debugging - or maybe google to learn what one is. Same with your other questions. These are things not particular to this debugger - but to systems in general.

Just like when you start Word, MS doesn't teach you how to use a mouse. There are some things you are expected to know.

And please don't top post.
