@bvirkus what’s important is that you need to have full control of your site when you install BuddyPress. If you want to test your installation, backup your database first so you can revert if BP doesn’t work completely on your one-click install.

@bvirkus install WP manually. See System and Server Requirements codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/
