[Q] [Help] Installation of CM11 Android v4.4.4

Hey there,
I'm completely new to flashing and other stuff. I really love CM11 (just by seeing it's screenshots in the group) and would love to have it on my Xperia L! I have the latest version and firmware and it is rooted.
What I'd love to see is Varun Chitre's CM11.. but the problem is.. I'm completely noob. I don't know where to start with. Can someone give me a step by step instructions, PLEASE? My warranty has expired and I'd love to learn new things, modify and customize my xL!
I have downloaded the cm-11-20140620-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan.zip from the given website, and I'm confused what to do now.
The thread of the development: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/ldevelopment-cm11-android-4-4-t2735551
Do I need to download anything else except the cm11taoshan.zip (the original file download link of 210mb)?
I already own Flashtool and I've downloaded the main 4.4.4 free xperia project file. I'm confused what to do now..
Thanks in advance
Ayush

First you must root your device,
next do a backup of drm files,
next unlock bootloader
next flash kernel and install CM11 from your internal sdcard.
All tutorials you have in Xperia L-> General

Can anyone give me the ftf link of the latest firmware update? I cannot find a working link!
Thanks in advance.

Without more information about your device, the software you are using for flashing and the stock rom you want to flash ... my first guess is that it is maybe a corrupt/bad download.
So re-download the rom file and compare the md5sum of the downloaded file with the one posted on the download page (if available).
If this can not help, please provide more information for further help.
EDIT: Here is a nice guide about md5sum and how to check it.

Sorry, but I have to repeat myself:
Please provide more information for further help.
Without more information about your device, the software you are using for flashing and the stock rom you want to flash, I can't help.
I can guess that you have to extract the rar file to get the file(s) you need for flashing ... but I want to help ... not guess.
Thanks for understanding.

Hello,
You need to choose the arm platform for your device and Version 5.1 since you are running lollipop firmware.
Also please check the package comparison in the thread I linked above, and choose the package accordingly.
