Installing Workflow in SharePoint 2013 VM for development is not as easy as I thought.. Because of a hardware limitation, I installed the workflow in my SharePoint VM. It is not the best practice solution but it is working for my development environment.
We can get all the installer needed using Web Platform Installer. I used the latest version which is 4.6.
We can search workflow in there, and download:
- Workflow Manager 1.0
- Workflow Manager 1.0 Cumulative Update 1
- Workflow Client 1.0
- Workflow Manager Tools 1.0 for Visual Studio 2012
I followed this guide below to install workflow manager in my VM:

Make sure we use another account beside farm administrator to prevent error in configuring the workflow manager.
I got error related with scope for "/SharePoint/default" is not available. I found the issue can be handled by adding a scope in sharepoint workflow root by following this article below:

After that, I can successfully create and deploy a workflow from my visual studio to my SharePoint list.
