It doesn't matter where you install SMF, if you want SMF to be at yourdomein.com/forum than creat a map and upload the SMF source files, and install it.
If you want it at yourwebsite.com than you've to upload and install it in the /public_html/ map.

Do you have SMF installed? If not, first you need to install that.

Once you install SMF, you can install SimplePortal via Admin > Package Manager.

No idea what you mean by "effects". Once you install the portal, your home page should be replace by SimplePortal and board index will be moved under ?action=forum action.
