You will require PHP, a webserver(e.g apache) and database(e.g mysql). There are packages with all of these in them you can download depending on what platform you are using(windows ,linux etc).
SuiteCRM is a PHP app.
It requires a server to handle requests.
You could install a local server, install suiteCRM and later move your installation to a online server
1- Start here for a: XAMPP Installers and Downloads for Apache Friends
2- Install XAMPP ( will be in a locla folder as in C:\xampp\ )
3- Browse the root server folder (as in C:\xampp\htdocs )
4- Create a new folder inside the root server folder (as in C:\xampp\htdocs\suitecrm )
5- Place there the uncompressed suiteCRm files
6- Open your browser and enter : http://localhost/suitecrm/
7- The install process will begin!
