To do a manual installation leaving everything as it was you will need to create a database.
If you want to do a fresh install you need to be sure you upload a fresh mainfile.php and the install directory. \
If you are just moving from another server. Edit the mainfile.php to set the correct database name and user. They will be different from the old server.
