Noob seeking help

Hello!

 

Just a casual Minecrafter looking to liven up my game with the Battlegear Mod (which apparently requires Minecraft Forge).  Can anyone offer a more in depth tutorial on how to install this?  When I visit the board with Forge itself on it, there's no instructions for which of the six downloads to select; I don't even know where to begin! Have tried installing mods before, but never been greatly successful (if you can't tell). I have a Windows 7-running PC, if that has any influence on which link I install into the .jar location. Thank you for your help!

What version of Minecraft forge does it require(minimum) It should tell you on the forum page for the mod.

Then go here (http://minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,5.0.html) and download the corresponding Build of Forge or newer (recommended)

When I'm looking at the Downloads Direct, there are four links- Version Number, Client, Server, Source. My question was intended to ask which of these I put into the .jar folder or do I have to use all of these? Do they go in different locations?

Version Number only if you want to see what the version is for the client/server/source.

The client goes in the client jar

The server goes in the server jar.

The source goes in to MCP.

If you do not use client/server/mcp then omit what you do not use obviously.
