MediaWiki can be downloaded from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download.
You're using Outlook, and therefore Windows, which doesn't natively
support tar and gzip; I recommend http://www.7-zip.org/ for
decompressing the archive. You need an HTTP server, such as Apache
(http://apache.org/) and PHP (http://www.php.net/) to run MediaWiki.
Don't let the term "HTTP server" scare you; you don't need to allow
others access to your computer.
