title: Do I need to have SharePoint 2013 installed on my local machine for web part development?
body: <p>We have a SharePoint 2013 server on a remote machine.  Can I develop web parts without installing SP server on my development PC or VS2012 on the remote machine?  There seem to be conflicting messages about this on various sites.</p>
  
  <p>I simply want to be able to build my apps locally and deploy to SP2013.  Is there an SP2013 "lite" solution that will help me achieve this on my dev machine?</p>
