It is dead trivial to install a basic simple LAMP server either on a
random spare PC, hard drive partition, or (if your machine is new
enough) on a bootable thumb drive. Or you can install a VM system
(like VirtualBox) and install a LAMP server as a virtual machine.
(It is also possible to install a WAMP server if you really must.)
