What is that you don't understand from the linked question? You have to install VS 2013 on Windows 8. If you install VS 2013 on Windows 7, you don't get to develop for Windows Phone. - GSerg

You need Visual Studio 2013 update 2 or later. You can download the latest free version here:

Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows with Update 3

To run it you need at least Windows 8.1.

If you want to use the emulators, you need Windows 8.1 Pro x64, but if you have a physical Windows phone 8.1 device, you can use it to test your apps, instead of the emulators
