I don't think its that difficult but there are a number of 'things' you have to do first.

I still have to figure out what those things are first.

And I have to practice as well

I know it's not easy but once you read a good tutorial and know the basics, you'll know what to do and the manual will show you how. You don't need to work with MySQL at first if you don't want, you can use text files (I doubt your first "project" will need a MySQL solution). Actually, you don't even need to install PHP and Apache if you don't want, but you'll have to use your remote server to test things. And that's why people usually install things at their machine, testing things locally is waaay faster.
