This depends on your Environment.
One way would be to run a VM, and follow the regular download & install the packages as described at
https://arangodb.com/download/ Another way could be to run a docker container with ArangoDB (
https://hub.docker.com/r/arangodb/arangodb/ brings you debian inside of the docker container);
However if you run it via boot2docker or similar on macosx or windows you may run into file permission problems.
Or you can run it in a chroot, and use debootstrap to install the base system.
But without knowing more about your environment its hard to say which way is to be prefered. Generally speaking it should be as close to the production environment as possible.
