Thank you @Qasem_h for reply,
I have gone through that link, i have installed vagrant (VM) , and virtual box , but when i download github, it discarded the installation automatically , i got baffled , dont know what to do. I am working on windows 7 .

whats your error ?

this is installion information :
after install VM and vagrant
git discourse clone
cd your cloned discourse location
and type : vagrant up (Its takes some time)

vagrant ssh
bundle install
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rails server
and open http://localhost:3000 in your browser
