There are already several blog posts about how to install SharePoint 2013, so I won\u2019t duplicate them here.  But all of these posts are written assuming that you SharePoint server can access the Internet.  You need this to be able to automatically download the 10 additional prerequisites that need to be installed BEFORE you can install SharePoint 2013.  But what if your SharePoint server is behind a firewall or in a disconnected Virtual machine?  How can you get the prerequisites installed then?<\/p>\n

You could download them manually, copy them to the server and install them.  but this presents several challenges.  For example, the first pre-requisite is .Net Framework 4.5.  Try using your search engine to find an official Microsoft site where you can download that.  Once you do you are left with the question of whether to install the Beta or Release Candidate version.  Once you\u2019ve done all that you still have to find and download the other nine prerequisites.  But there is an easier way.<\/p>\n

In the past you could find Powershell scripts on the Internet that you could use to download all the SharePoint prerequisites to a subdirectory.  In this post I\u2019ve taken one of those scripts and updated it with the right links for the SharePoint 2013 prerequisites.  Then once the prerequisites are downloaded and copied to the SharePoint server I\u2019ve created a batch file that you can use to install all the prereqs using the SharePoint prerequisite installer.  I\u2019ve also included a list of the prerequisites and where you can download them from in case you want to get them manually.<\/p>\n

Downloading the Prerequisites (Powershell)<\/h1>\n

You can use the following Powershell script to download all the SharePoint 2013 prerequisites and put them in a subdirectory that you specify.  Download Download-All_SP2013_PreReqs.ps1 script here<\/font><\/a>.<\/p>\n
