(I never use full version.)

The error is that you have already the data in your database, when you new-install. If you want new-install, you should use different database name.

If you use same version (maybe 7) between demo and full, I think that you just upload full version except my/config.php.
If demo is version 5, you should follow the upgrade instruction.
