If you have a router in your setup and a spare old pc lying around, here is a howto to setup your own local server with a debugging environment:

If anyone wants access to that training that doesn't yet have it create an account there and let me know.

The above article that Michael wrote is really in two parts, how to set up a local/home server, and how to use it to debug code with phpStorm.
If you just initially work through the first part, you end up with a local server that works with V5 (as well as V4 and anything else) and is a viable alternative to any XAMP, MAMP, LAMP, whatever.

you could just install virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org) and download an distro and install that way if you don't have Linux box.
