PowerCMS Install on live server question

Followed tutorial and Installed PowerCMS(PCMS) successfully on my local(Wamp) server and put up a few test pages. Now want to do same on live server. Configured DW successfully for the remote Server. When I attempted to apply PCMS to remote pages, I did not get the automatic Install/Setup wizard that I got when setting up the local server. Can I just move all the PCMS related files and folders to live server, import the DB tables PCMS added, edit PowerCMSConnection.php to login to the remote DB and it will work? Or do need to uninstall the local server version and files and start over with just a remote PCMS install/setup? Want to be cautious just pushing related files automatically live thru DW as last time I did that, it overwrote my live /Connections/_sql.php file and it took the better part of a day to figure out why half the live pages weren't loading.
Your guidance is much appreciated as always.
