One of the things you might be experiencing is the automated tools for 
fetching and installing core or plug-ins will probably not work on a 
private network.  I've had that problem myself with WordPress and 
Drupal.

Heads up - if you build local and move to another domain WordPress will 
behave badly.  You might want to read "Changing Your Domain Name and 
URLs"  https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress .

You may have to look at your logs to find the errors you are 
experiencing.  Also you can set PHP to display errors which will help.  
Then the best it gets, based on no plug-in support, is to google those 
errors.

Recommended setup :  PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.6/MariaDB 10.0 or greater is 
recommended. https://codex.wordpress.org/Hosting_WordPress

If you are running a version of PHP and MySql that is prior to 5.6 that 
might be a problem as well.

Hope this helps.
