You can configure NFS, but why you want to use it on local host ?

I dont know how to configure NFS at all. I want to practice it.

If you know please give me the details.

Thanks in advance...

How are you going to test it?

The things you typically need are

NFS enabled in the kernel
RPC port mapper/rpcbind
nfsd daemon
mountd daemon

then share the various mountpoints you want to export
