Installing these with default settings will do.
Create a database and a user for Gallery, grant the user rights for accessing and modifying the database.
Download Gallery 3 and place it in Apache-readable folder (eg htdocs). If you wish, you could create a separate virtual host for gallery (gallery.example.com) or an internal server alias which allows to install Gallery to a different folder or disk outside server location (for example Z:\gallery3).
Fire up the web browser and in case everything above was set up right Gallery should welcome you with the installation screen, asking for MySQL credentials.
