If I install in my PC :
SQL Server 2014 Express edition
SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence
Can I build SSIS packages?
I don't care about deploying, I just need a development environment.
Thanks in advance for the help.
You can build and compile packages in SQL Server Data Tools with BI. They can only be deployed to SQL Server Standard or higher, which isn't an issues since you mention you just need a development environment.
Here are specific available features:

What edition of sql server contains all BI , analysis, integration, reporting.
Does the install of SQl server for BI create a report database, reportdatabase tempdb and does analysis and integration need database components.
I guess I asking what do I need to install to get a sql server database running with BI. Is it just sql server and SSDT tools or during the install of SQL Server do I need to select analysis, reporting, etc
There are four editions of SQL Server (as of SQL Server 2017) - Enterprise, Standard, Web and Express (Developer is Enterrpise, is free (sometimes there is a $50 media fee but cannot be used in production). All four support Reporting Services.
Please see the following link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/reporting-services-features-supported-by-the-editions-of-sql-server-2016?view=sql-server-2017
If you are going to run SSRS and SSDT do yourself a favor and select these products during the install. Initially the databases are not that large. You probably can run SSDT from the command line without the install but you will run into all kinds of unnecessary issues if you don't install it. You can turn off the service if you are not using that feature.
BI is fully supported in Enterprise and many of the features I have used are available in Standard. Please see the following to compare editions for BI:

Does SQL Server 2008 Express support Integration Services? When I try to create an Integration Services project, it says that I have to install Integration Services, but I cannot find the option in the setup for the installation. How can I install it? thanks
No, it does not. From Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2008 R2:
You need to be running at least Standard Edition.
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express doesn't support Integration Services at it's fullest. It will support, access to basic data sources, but not the full suite that is included in the Standard edition of MSSQL Server 2008.
I don't believe there is a way around this. It's part of the installation package and I don't believe Express has the necessary programmatic pieces for Integration Services.
I have installed sql server 2012 standard edition and SSDT (10.3.21208.0) is installed.
But when I try to create an integration services project in VS 2010 professional edition I got the following message:
Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document:
To design Integration Services packages in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), SSDT has to be installed by one of these editions of SQL Server 2012: Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation. To install SSDT, run SQL Server Setup and select SQL Server Data Tools."
Am I missing something?
Did you also have a SQL Server 2008 R2 installation before? It seems in some of the cases, the side-by-side installation tends to do some missteps. The suggest solution in the below article is to first uninstall the earlier Express/2008, then reinstall.

I have a BIDS 2008 on my machine, My production is SSIS 2005.
Currently gettting BIDS 2005 is a bit difficulty.
Can I use BIDS 2008 as BIDS 2005?
I have seen couple of such instance in Microsoft technology. In Visual Studio 2010 we can target an older framework. Even IE 8 we could make it work as IE 7 so I thought this might be possible for BIDS.
Unfortunately the answer is no :-(

The link in the answer by kzhen refers to SSRS not SSIS, but it's the same for SSIS as well, see here:

Design packages in Business Intelligence Development Studio. You have
to use the SQL Server 2008 version of Business Intelligence
Development Studio to develop and maintain packages that are based on
SQL Server 2008 Integration Services. Likewise, you have to use the
SQL Server 2005 version of Business Intelligence Development Studio to
develop and maintain packages that are based on SQL Server 2005
Integration Services. You can load and run packages that were
developed in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services in the SQL Server
2008 version of Business Intelligence Development Studio. However, if
you save your changes, the packages are saved in the package format
that SQL Server 2008 Integration Services uses. Once saved in the
format that SQL Server 2008 Integration Services uses, packages can no
longer be opened in the SQL Server 2005 version of Business
Intelligence Development Studio, nor run by the SQL Server 2005
Integration Services tools.
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
This consists of the configuration tools (SQL server configuration manager, SQL Error and usage Reporting, SQL Server Surface area configuration, Reporting Services configuration) and SQL Server Management Studio.
However, I don't find SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio.
How can it be installed?
Is it available online as a freeware download?
It sounds like you have installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, which does not include SSIS or the Business Intelligence Development Studio.
BIDS is only provided with the (not free) Standard, Enterprise and Developer Editions.
EDIT
This information was correct for SQL Server 2005. Since SQL Server 2014, Developer Edition has been free. BIDS has been replaced by SQL Server Data Tools, a free plugin for Visual Studio (including the free Visual Studio Community Edition).
If you have installed SQL 2005 express edition and want to install BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) then go to here Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit
This has an option to install BIDS on my machine, and is the only way l could get hold of BIDS for SQL Server 2005 express edition.
Also this package l think has also allowed me to install both BIDS 2005 & 2008 express edition on the same machine.

Business Intelligence Development Studio is Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with additional project types that are specific to SQL Server business intelligence. Business Intelligence Development Studio is the primary environment that you will use to develop business solutions that include Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects. Each project type supplies templates for creating the objects required for business intelligence solutions, and provides a variety of designers, tools, and wizards to work with the objects.
If you already have Visual Studio installed, the new project types will be installed along with SQL Server.
More Information
I figured it out and posted the answer in Can't run Business Intelligence Development Studio, file is not found.
I had this same problem. I am running .NET framework 3.5, SQL Server 2005, and Visual Studio 2008. While I was trying to run SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio the icon was grayed out and the devenv.exe file was not found.
I hope this helps.
This worked for me:
Start /wait setup.exe /qb ADDLOCAL=SQL_DTS,Client_Components,Connectivity,SQL_Tools90,SQL_WarehouseDevWorkbench,SQLXML,Tools_Legacy,SQL_Documentation,SQL_BooksOnline
