This is easily the most important module. Without SharePoint installed properly nothing else matters. Here at SharePoint911 we have a unique perspective on installing SharePoint because we have installed it for over 100 different customers. So in this module we will not talk about hypothetical install but actual client installs. This module will walk you through doing a SharePoint install the exact same we do it for customers on their production systems. And then during the hands on lab you will do just that. We won’t be installing SharePoint as one account because that is easier, instead we will explain a proper, least privilege install. With a least privilege install each account only has the permissions it needs. This makes your farm less susceptible to attack and is also more impressive to show off to your coworkers. Also, the lab is written so you could easily apply the same steps to your production server when you get back to the office.Hardware for SharePoint VirtualizationTopologies and farm designFour stages of SharePoint installationPrerequisitesSharePoint bits installSharePoint bits configureFarm Configuration A professional installRid the world of unnecessary GUIDsUsing PowerShell to create the farmUsing PowerShell to create State and Usage service appsUsing Power or Central Admin to configure the restCovered more in module 3

Need to fix the image
This is from SharePoint 2010. Information is mostly the same for SharePoint 2013, but I couldn’t find the comparable docs.
