First off, you will need the PECL APC Package available at http://pecl.php.net/package/APC. The current version is 3.0.14 as of this writing. This can be done as root on the command line with the following:

webserver# pecl install apc

I'm such a noob, but I need my slow Drupal site to use a PHP accelerator or I may lose this project to horrible loading times, and I don't know how to perform this first task. I've downloaded the PECL package and I know how to open my command line, but I don't know what to do from there.

I'm using a Dedicated, Shared Hosting GoDaddy server and I think I read somewhere that there are issues with using PHP accelerators with them, but I wanted to ask here anyway.

Help would be SO appreciated.

Thanks!

First ask your host if you can use this package before wasting your time trying to install it.

Install instructions are in the APC package I believe.

is this line done in SSH? How do I install PECL or APC to the webserver?

yes and there in an install text file inside each download.

The module that you are discussing this in is deprecated please see: http://drupal.org/project/apc

If you've further questions consider using the support forums of the packages in questions.
