Single Server farm Installation
Before starting actual steps, we would like to understand few basic concepts. So

What is farm? Farm is group of Co-related, interdependent still isolated Applications.

Farm can be deployed as

1. Multi-Server Farm: in which different servers have different roles, like someone has
web Server Role, Application Server Role and Database server Role.

2. Single server farm: In this all above Roles are assigned to Single Server. All of Above
roles Played by Single Server. In single server farm we can add more servers later

3. Stand-Alone farm cannot add another Server in future.

In this tutorial today we will see how to setup single server farm.

Minimum Hardware Requirements For Single server farm:-

 64 bit processor.
 8 GB for production use in a single server or multiple server farm .For test
Installation we can use 4 GB RAM.

Software Requirements For Single server farm:-
