Hi and Welcome aboard ,
you can't !!!
only recently they released PX for windows.
till then you could only design (not even compile PX) on windows.
secondly since there is no server "home edition" out there having a PX home eddition is most unlikely to happen.
the only way for you to have a home installation is getting a real installation, now if you won't buy it you'r getting into legal issues from here till never-ever-land.

Time is money but when you don't have money time is all you can afford.
Never use illegal copy. Ascential is more aware of license issues. As apart of my job, I have to use different installation procedures as per client standards. That procedure violates license terms, so we took permission by e-mail. Don't make mistake in this.
As the other posters have said, Ascential does not currently offer anything like a personal edition of DataStage - you either buy a full licence or nothing.
If there is a reasonable prospect of a sale, some vendors may arrange an evaluation licence - a full licence with an expiry date in the near future. But this is never guaranteed.
Possibly, if there is sufficient groundswell from the user community, then Ascential may be persuaded to provide some self-learning mechanisms. Currently there is web-based instruction, but you don't get to play with the tools unless you have them.
One idea that I just had is that Ascential could sell a short-lived client-only licence and allow you to connect to one of its Education servers, with your very own project.
