You have many choices. If you install locally then you will need to have IIS and SQL Server installed. I am not sure how to install DNN locally without WebMatrix. WebMatrix can make it easy. I have installed DNN locally using WebMatrix. If you do that then you will need to have mixed (integrated and Windows) security enabled for SQL Server. You probably must do that even without using WebMatrix. SQL Server is installed with integrated security disabled by default. Note that DotNetNuke Community Edition is now called DNN Platform. Try this. Go to DNN Software and hover the mouse over "Platform" in the top menu. You will see a button to download DNN Platform. You should install from there. It is easy using WebMatrix if you first have mixed mode security for SQL Server enabled. Be sure to have the password for the sa account. Another option is to create a DNN website in Azure. I think you can create a free web site. If you want to try that then let me know. I am writing an article describing how to do it and I will appreciate your help verifying its accuracy. Another option is to create a DNN website in Amazon. I think you can do that for free, at least initially, but I am not sure. Let me know if you want to try that but I have not done that.
