change htaccess?

I have a script I am trying to load. the instructions state to
( Change the htaccess.htaccess = to .htaccess on the server side.) I cant find a file that is htaccess.htaccsess. What does that mean, or do I just need to rename file.

 

you just need to rename the file, that is all

 

Or if no file exists at all, just open up notepad and save it as .htaccess

Most likely the the script came with a htaccess.htaccess file that once renamed to .htaccess and uploaded, basically enables it.

 

thanks....
