The only platform available when you first install SharePoint Server 2013 is the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform. The SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform and the Project Server platform require additional steps.  Note :  The User Profile Service in SharePoint Server 2013 is required to be setup and functioning properly in order to correctly configure workflow.  The SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform is not supported in SharePoint Foundation 2013.
