Question problem with installing pixelpost 1.7.1...rookie !

hei there!
i am rookie and actually dont know anything about these things..
i wanted to install this pixelpost..but i had some problems when i got to the requirements page! could someone help me out here or give me any further instructions!!!
please!
below you can see copy paste from that page...

Requirements

Before proceeding with the full installation, Pixelpost has carried out some tests on your servers configuration and files to ensure that you are able to install and run Pixelpost.
Please ensure you read through the results thoroughly and do not proceed until all the required tests are passed.

PHP Version and Settings
PHP version > or = 4.3.3: Value: 5.2.6

PHP setting register_globals is disabled:
Pixelpost will still run if this setting is enabled, but if possible, it is recommended that register_globals is disabled on your PHP install for security reasons.
Value: No

PHP function getimagesize() is available:
In order for Pixelpost to function correctly, the getimagesize function needs to be available.
Value: Yes

PCRE UTF-8 support:
Pixelpost will not run correctly if your PHP installation is not compiled with UTF-8 support in the PCRE extension.
Value: Yes

GD graphics support:
Pixelpost will not run if your PHP installation is not compiled with the GD graphics library.
Value: 2.0.34


Files and Directories

images/:
Value: Found , Unwritable

thumbnails/:
If you see 'Not Found' you need to create the relevant directory.
If you see 'Unwritable' you need to change the permissions on the file or directory to allow Pixelpost to write to it. (CHMOD 755 or 777)
Value: Found , Unwritable

Here's where the problems are:

You need to make both the images and thumbnails folders writable. You can do this via FTP, using the CHMOD command. If they are 755 now, make them 775, then try again. If Pixelpost says they are still unwritable at that point, then you'll have to make them both 777.
