I am not sure what you mean by initialize.  It is just a framework.  The 
libraries are in the "cake" folder.  Project files (MVC structure) and 
configuration files all go under "app".  Look in ~/app/config/ for settings.  
You should be able to just drop the whole structure in the web root and open 
your browser.  Make sure that the 3 .htaccess files exist (~/.htaccess, 
~/app/.htaccess, ~/app/webroot/.htaccess) and that your webserver allows 
rewriting and overriding.

Daniel was correct.  ~/app/tmp/

See the database.php file in ~/app/config/
