Running WordPress Locally On Your Computer
Question:
How can I create a WordPress Theme without installing WordPress on my computer? I want to create a custom WordPress theme, but I don’t have administrative access to the computer that I’m using, so I can’t install WordPress to test my theme. Is there another easy way to do it? I have photoshop, and notepad ++ both installed on my flash drive, but as far as I know there is no way to install WordPress on a flash drive.

It can be done. WordPress needs a web server (local or remote) and a mySQL database. Just Google “install wordpress locally” and you’ll finds tons of people who’ve done it, complete with instructions.
