...hokay, what have you tried already?

I’m just confused in general of how to flash the file science I don’t see any .bins

Ah, there we go. There aren't any bins in this package because that wouldn't make any sense: this is an embeddable webserver meant as a component you include in your own (C, esp8266-sdk-based) project so it serves files and exports functionality relevant to that project. In that sense, this is only a demonstration application, illustrating how to do that. A .bin doesn't make much sense there, because it would just give you the default sample application without any chance to change anything.

If you want to do something with this, I'm afraid you need to know how to program in C for the ESP8266. That should also give you the knowledge to compile this thing.

Thanks for the understanding, but I do know how to read and write in C, heck I even made my own android game, I was just really confused on how to install it

Okay, again: where do you get stuck then? I got that you're having trouble getting it to work, but only mentioning that is about as effective as telling a help desk that you cannot send email: the problem may be anything from a power cord not plugged in to a misconfigured server.

Heh, in the readme it tells you how to compile and build the project to create the bins.

Once built, flash those bins onto the ESP using esptool.
