Installation will depend on your web host. Most have a one click install that will automatically set up WordPress and the necessary databases. Which web host do you use?

If you haven't made a decision yet then that is a feature I would look for. I have used Bluehost and Media Temple both of which have one click installs that are extremely easy to set up. I also noticed that Media Temple now offers WordPress specific hosting that offers easier WordPress management.

Are you looking to install WordPress locally onto your machine or on your web host?
