If you are lazy you can use a distro like Kali that already has metasploit installed. All you need to do to start it is:

# service postgresql start
# service metasploit start
# msfdb init
# msfconsole 

There should also be a docker container that you can download and run. If metasploit is too much of a learning curve for you then you should have a look at armitage.
