Simple installed tool for digital Scrum Board

I am looking for a basic and simple-to-install digital version of a Scrum board.

  • I do prefer physical index cards, but in this case logistics makes it hard. Thus, I need to have it on the computer.
  • No real need to share data between several clients. To us it is enough if it runs on one single machine.
  • Just need basic functionality. A drag-drop board and a sprint burndown would do fine.
  • Due to regularly constraints I cannot use an online SaaS, must keep the data local.
  • Time is short, so simple install and ready-to-go.
  • Does not need to be free, but of course price is interesting.

I have not had this set of constraints earlier, so I am unfamiliar.

I have done some research and have some general experience. For example VersionOne, Mingle and Hansoft seem to have a good reputation. Anyone can comment on how those fit the above list? Anyone have other recommendations?
