Some people are running into problems on WAMP / XAMPP because OAuth requires the PHP cURL library. It turns out that at least on XAMPP this is easy to enable: http://www.tonyspencer.com/2003/10/22/curl-with-php-and-apache-on-windows/

However, it would be a good piece of documentation to know in advance all of the PHP libraries that are needed so that sysadmins can plan accurately, and so that people don't find out during installation that their environment isn't set up properly.

Text that I'm including in #1702532: [External Doc] CK-Install - Installing Commerce Kickstart 2

Basic Drupal Commerce Installation Requirements

Chances are, you won't have any problem installing Commerce Kickstart 2, but if you do, we have listed the bare minimum requirements and a few odd settings that sometimes cause problems.

Disk Space: 45 MB
RAM: minimum 96M, recommended 128M (learn how to configure)
Web Server: Apache 1.3, Apache 2.x, or Microsoft IIS
Database: MySQL 5.0.15 or higher with PDO, PostgreSQL 8.3 or higher with PDO, SQLite 3.3.7 or higher

Details are offered on the Drupal Requirements Page.

Odd Settings

There are a few settings that default to good values, but can interfere with installation should you have changed defaults:

xdebug setup: If you are using xdebug, you'll want to make sure you have the nesting levels configured accurately. (http://drupal.org/node/1663314)
apache setup: max_allowed_packet needs to be 16M minimum
required php libraries: Commerce Kickstart 2 requires the Curl PHP Library to be installed.
