You need to run WP in a webserver that supports PHP5 and something like mod_rewrite - apache, nginx or lighttpd. Then it's a matter of unpacking the WP code base into your vhost and setting up the mysql db.There is a good how-to on  Wordpress.org that should help you with the finer points (how-to http://bit.ly/FOUwj).
