Two schemes to install SharePoint:
1. [single server，Stand one] install
all the components in one server including database(default is SQL Express）
2. [multiple servers
farm，Farm] SharePoint’s components are installed in
different servers（with SQL Server being installed in other servers）
Comments:
1. If adopting the former scheme, we need
to install SQL Express. It won’t be a problem since most developers have already
installed either SQL Server Enterprise version or standard version which has more powerful
performance. But if we install too many database instances, the functionality
may suffer.
2. If adopting the latter SQL Server must be
installed by default in computers with domain controller (native or local both
work).
3. We will make some
changes based on the second scheme by installing SharePoint3 in native computer
and using the existing native databases. We choose not to install domain
environment since domain controller will slow your computer down so that it
will cost a lot of time to start the computer. By doing so, we can both have
SharePoint development environment and guarantee the computer’s performance.
I. Installation Environment ：
Operation System ：（x64）
Windows 7，Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 (http://www.cnblogs.com/scally/archive/2010/01/03/1638202.html ), please refer to the special process before installing and
prepare installation files before processing in the following steps
Windows Server 2008 R2
Database：（64bit）
SQL Server 2008 + SP2, SQL Server Express
(SP2), SQL Server 2008 R2
Requirements for Computer：
RAM：4GB at
least
CPU：at least
dual-core with 2.0GB or more
SharePoint installation files：
II. Installation steps：
1. Start SharePoint installation program
a) Firstly, install operating environment
b) Secondly, install SharePoint Server, CAPTCHA：GGDG8-JCMXH-8KG8C-RJYYX-3Y33H（It seems to be a testing account free
of charge for 180 days）
It may take 30 to 60 minutes depending
on computers’ performance. After installation completes, do not click Run the SharePoint. Just click finished and exit.
2. Configurate database by using PowerShell
（PS：if we use SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard to
configurate database, the database must be installed in domain environment , or
it can’ t pass the validation ）
All
programs Microsoft SharePoint 2010 ProductsSharePoint 2010 Management Shell，right click->Run as Admin,
Input
the following command in command line：
New-SPConfigurationDatabase
Input
the name of SharePoint’s configuration library，default：SharePoint_Config
Input
the name of Database Server：
PS：here will pop up a prompt box. Input the native account
and password of the Database Server into the box. Please note the format： [computer name]\ [Administrator account].If you
mistakenly fill it, there will be no validation until the final step when the
error is being exposed. Thus you may waste a lot of time.
Passphrase: （having no clue to its use），it must consist of at least 8 bits with special characters, numbers
and letters. Such as：@Qwert12
Then enter and the following will
appear in the screen after a successful configuration ：
PS：please note that the whole configuration process may
take 10 to 20 minutes depending on computer performance .when the cursor is blinking;
it shows that the configuration of server is underway. Do not close the window （I make such conclusion based on three-hour trials ）
3. Run SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration
Wizard configuration SharePoint
run：All
programs Microsoft SharePoint 2010 ProductsSharePoint 2010 Products
Configuration Wizard
Up
to now，SharePoint has been successfully installed in non-domain
environment and database in other computers on LAN.
