Choosing setup type: Keep defaults. Note, you can select "Server only", but Developer Default will allow you to skip the MySQL Workbench below, and it will require more diskspace.
Check Requirements: Click next. You should not need anything that shows "Manual", but you can download the modules separately if you do need them later for some reason. *Note, if you are missing some of the elements (Status = manual), it will pop up with a message stating "One or more product requirements have not been satisfied". Click yes to continue.
