Comments.Text: I unpacked the package -- didnt run the installer. 
  
  It was under "/var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/civicrm"
  
  When I click "configure CiviCRM" on wordpress it showed me a blank wordpress page with no options, no messages, nothing.
  
  At the moment, I deleted the 4.7 version and trying to use 4.5.1 version civiCRM and that has only mysql files and language packs (source: SourceForge)

  CiviCRM is a very different beast than other plugins - it has more code than WordPress itself! Unfortunately the "normal" WordPress installation doesn't work. You can find detailed instructions here: <https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Installing+CiviCRM+for+WordPress>.
