I had installed sharepoint 2013 foundation, sql server 2012 in Windows Server 2012 operating system in virtual machine.

I need to setup development environment for sharepoint 2013. Can any one help me on what I have to install apart from that.

I have some questions like

Where does the Visual studio 2012 has to be installed ( either in the client or in server VM)? What components I have to install? Do I need to Install Sharepoint Designer?

Kindly help me out on these.

Cheers!
