by using the php built-in server: first step you need to add your PHP installation directory to the "%PATH%" environment variable if first step was already done then you can type this command: php -S localhost:5000 -ddisplay_errors=1 -t"your_document_root"

I've been using MAMP for this purpose for quite some time, and I feel that it's the most easiest one to setup for creating local host. https://www.mamp.info/en/ But the most popular one is XAMPP, and I will also advise that you go for XAMPP https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
