Not without a virtual machine like VirtualBox or VMWare. Hopefully it'll change in the future.

Oh, thank you.
If I were to get virtual box, would the process be just like the online method after?

You would run the server on either your real machine, or inside the virtual machine, and then make sure they're on a network that's able to connect to each other, like a bridged connection (I've not tried a host-only network, but you can try it). No Hamachi or Tunngle/Evolve needed.
