I use VMWare to create a server and workstation system to allow me to run the sites.
If you have a preferred dev environment the sites should run. They are mostly self contained and can run in a user public_html directory if configured correctly.
The main thing to check is that the .htaccess mod-rewrite "RewriteBase" path is correct so the site will work, the site should be able to work if the "RewriteBase" path is correct.
