Now I have always wanted to start my small imageboard, however I have no idea how to. What do I need to download to get the software and how do I necessary install it?

2013 still using futaba/wakaba
kusaba x is working and goes if you want an image board. But you should at least know a last bit of PHP OR WANT TO LEARN CODING because you will probably need to tweak some shit. you will want to create a good menu (and not the fucking frameset) and you will want to change the style in order not to use the boring default style, so you will want to work with CSS(3!) and HTML and also the template engine.
If you are not speaking PHP or any used scripting language fluent, you will not want to write your own (if you do, you probably wouldn't ask here).
I am using kusaba x for a year now and I am constantly working at it, tweaking the code. The chan has been started as an experiment for me wanting to try out some stuff and also covering a niche that was uncovered in all the *chans.
Also you will want to think about what boards to create (depending on your niche). I started with creating 20 boards and remove/merge them still since then, because people take a look my chan and turn never coming back again because they don't understand my fucked up way of categorizing topics. So start with less boards and then add a new one once enough people beg for having it.
