Windows 7 with SharePoint 2013 Foundation and Visual Studio 2013

Question

Hi,
I am begginer with Sharepoint 2013 Foundation. 
My company installed Sharepoint 2013 Foundation on a virtual Server. I installed
Visual Studio 2013 on my local computer. Also i created a developer site.
Based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj220047(v=office.15).aspx#RDOverview I installed Office
Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on my local computer. 
I am trying to remotely develop apps
with Visual Studio 2013. In the option What SharePoint site do you want to use for debugging your App? i put the url
of developer site.
First of all, i had to choose if the apps will be SharePoint-hosted or Provider-hosted apps. Based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142379(v=office.15).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142381(v=office.15).aspx,
i decided to followed SharePoint-hosted because is the only type that applies to SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
I followed the steps of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142379(v=office.15).aspx, which is the quide for How to:Create a basic SharePoint-hosted app. In Step 10 for deploy my app i get the following error: 
Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': Failed to install app for SharePoint. Please see the output window for details.
What is the problem?
Also, the visual studio need to be installed on the server where sharepoint was installed?
Moreover, do I need app catalog for testing and deploy apps?
thanks, Aphrodite

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about creating app.
Per my knowledge, the issue is caused that you don’t configure the app catalog URLs from the central administration.
It means that we should create an App site catalog site collection to hold our Apps.
