Just run the installer.

- At that point, would I simply copy all of the files in production and place them in this server?

Read the lovely documentation. Before you can do that you'll have to configure a user specification and a client specification.

Then you copy the files you want to play with to the working directory you specified as the "Root:" in your client specification, and add them to the Perforce depot with "p4 add" and "p4 submit".

When you go into production you can decide whether to add the head revisions of the files to Perforce and keep the CVS depot running to maintain your history, or to import all CVS revisions into Perforce.

- What else would be involved that I would need to do to set up a Test Depot?

For convenience, use "p4 set" to save some handy environment varibles.
