It's not where it says. The Download page at https://wiki.phpgedview.net/en/index.php/Download_v4.2.x says to go to "PGV's Sourceforge help forum for download details" but that page says "Here's the download location:
http://phpgedview.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/phpgedview/trunk/phpGedView/?view=tar" and that link gives a 404 The requested URL /viewvc/phpgedview/trunk/phpGedView/ was not found on this server.
https://sourceforge.net/p/phpgedview/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/phpGedView/
Click on the "Download snapshot" link.
Alternatively, send me an e-mail from your "real" e-mail address (NOT SourceForge), and I can give you details on how to download a ZIP file from my server.
Unless you're upgrading from an earlier version of PhpGedView, you should really consider using Webtrees, which has much better support. I'm the only developer who's sticking around -- everybody else has flown the coop. Webtrees was cloned from PhpGedView over 10 years ago.
Thank you...this is for a new installation, so perhaps webtrees is a better bet, I'm surprised I hadn't come across it while looking for suitable web-hosted family-tree display software.
So far I have only used phpgedview on my laptop (as localhost) and only to display my gedcom file which is maintained in Gramps, so I am not tied to any one interface.
From a quick look, webtrees suffers from a couple of the same display problems as phpgedview: the ancestor and descendant charts are all packed tight up against the left-hand side of the window instead of being spread across the full width, and there is still no classical vertical family-tree chart (but I know that is programmatically "challenging", as they say :-)
From my personal point of view, I think phpgedview is more convenient to use than webtrees. Of course, converting from pgv to webtrees is also very convenient.
Peter:
If you choose the "Booklet" option for the Descendancy and Ancestry chart format, you'll get what you want
