It is nice for demos and testing out quick features to install SharePoint platform on your desktop. Here are some sites I found helpful on getting the SharePoint platform installed on my desktop / laptop machine.
Installing SharePoint Server 2010 on Windows 7 x64 - https://www.codeproject.com/KB/sharepoint/Install_SP2010_on_Win_7.aspx
Running SharePoint on Windows 7 - https://weblogs.asp.net/gunnarpeipman/archive/2009/05/07/running-sharepoint-on-windows-7.aspx
A couple things to note:
- You cannot run both 2007 and 2010 farms on the same machine
- You will have to setup a instance of SQL Server Express on your machine for SharePoint to create the databases it will need
- You need x64 Software and Hardware
Please let me know if you have any questions setting this up. Thanks!
