Installation on 64bit copy & paste

This copy and paste script works on fresh install of a linux (when none voipmonitor installed there), otherwise take care of stars '*' in cd,tar,mv commands

Before first login to GUI with browser after use of copy&paste for install, you need to edit mysql config and voipmonitor service config, and restart both service.
