In this post, we are going to configure a single farm SharePoint 2013 setup on Server 2012.
Download SharePoint 2013 if you don’t already have it and burn it to a DVD. Make sure you meet the system requirements for hardware and software before attempting to install SharePoint 2013.
Open a PowerShell command prompt and execute the following commands:
Import-Module Servermanager
Add-WindowsFeature NET-WCF-HTTP-Activation45,NET-WCF-TCP-Activation45,NET-WCF-Pipe-Activation45
Add-WindowsFeature Net-Framework-Features,Web-Server,Web-WebServer,Web-Common-Http,Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-App-Dev,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Net-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Health,Web-Http-Logging,Web-Log-Libraries,Web-Request-Monitor,Web-Http-Tracing,Web-Security,Web-Basic-Auth,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-Filtering,Web-Digest-Auth,Web-Performance,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-Mgmt-Compat,Web-Metabase,Application-Server,AS-Web-Support,AS-TCP-Port-Sharing,AS-WAS-Support, AS-HTTP-Activation,AS-TCP-Activation,AS-Named-Pipes,AS-Net-Framework,WAS,WAS-Process-Model,WAS-NET-Environment,WAS-Config-APIs,Web-Lgcy-Scripting,Windows-Identity-Foundation,Server-Media-Foundation,Xps-Viewer
When finished, restart the Server so that the features can finish installing.
Insert the SharePoint 2013 into the DVD drive and run the install pre-requisites check.
This will initiate the downloading and installation of the application requirements such as SQL Server and others.
Once finished, it will prompt to restart. Click finish to restart.
Once the prerequisites are installed, open the splash screen and click Install SharePoint Server.
Enter your product key and accept the license agreement.
When prompted, select stand alone server type since we are going to set up a simple, single farm SharePoint.
Click Install now.
When the installation finishes, the configuration wizard screen will appear.
Follow the prompts to complete the configuration wizard.
