While it is true that there is indeed no folder called install in the distribution it is supposed to be like that. Most likely your server does not have mod_rewrite enabled and / or .htaccess is not working, see the next question on how to disable .htaccess
Open the file app/config/core.php and uncomment the line number 40, Line number 40 looks like
// define ('BASE_URL', env('SCRIPT_NAME'));

There are 3 .htaccess files which have to be removed the first is in the main folder lets call it / the second is in the /app folder and the third is in the /app/webroot folder - do remember to read “How to make Cheesecake-Photoblog work without .htaccess” after doing this.
If you are trying to upload pictures and they fail with the following or similar warning:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home.2/mydomain/www/app/webroot/img/photos/1170429521_asdfg.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home.2/mydomain/www/app/models/photo.php on line 13
It means that the folder photos is missing from the app/webroot/img/ - this can happen if your FTP client is set to omit creating empty folders on the server. Change the settings in your FTP client and retry uploading the app
