ftp.game.org has copies of all the codebases. You could also try , he has more information and a wider variety to search from for codebases.
Each codebase has a readme file which contains basic information on how to get started. Basically you have to unzip the file, then untar it. To do this you need to either have a shell account (running linux) or an emulator, such as cygwin, which can do the commands you need. Kyndig also offers hosting accounts at reasonable prices, if you're interested.
Now for the requisite speech: you should really play elsewhere for awhile first to see if you really want to do this. Jumping in feet first is great, especially with a can-do attitude, but it is often overwhelming and can lead to frustration. Also, playing with a MUD to 'learn to code' is strongly discouraged; most of the programmers out there have some very bad programming habits which will be picked up by working with their code.
