As Quim noted earlier, Vagrant is a Virtual Machine set up for this.

We've written these down a couple of times:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meetings/2013-06-27
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meetings/2013-07-18 (note that the Vagrant
info here is out of date)

tl;dr:  you can't go too wrong with a Vagrant VM.  if you're not on
Windows, RVM is the way to go. If you are on Windows, the one-click
installer is the best option.
