• Configure yourself an SFTP client (e.g. WinSCP, Filezilla) to connect to web.sourceforge.net, log in with your sourceforge user name, cd /home/project-web/your-imeight-project/htdocs
• Unzip im8runner.zip, upload all files from it together with index.html (the just downloaded one)
• The running program will be publicly available as https://your-imeight-project.sourceforge.io/

See also https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Project%20Web%20Services/ for updates on this info.
