Creating an oData service question

[fretted]

Hi guys,

Ive been asked to set up an odata service on a development server for testing purposes - my googling shows i can do this using a visual studio web api template.

However, the development server is firewalled from the internet and has no visual studio installed. Can i set up the odata service just using my local copy of visual studio 2013 and or do i need to do this development on the server?

I have admin privs, so can install vs but cant download any updates.

Thanks for responding.

Do i need to set up a local iis and is it obvious where I deploy to?
