What is the best way to configure mac os to execute and debug php code locally?

Question

PHP

Hello.

A stupid habit has formed to conduct all development on a remote server, on dev copies of sites, uploading only the necessary files via phpStorm

Now I took a smart macbook and it became necessary to work locally. I also liked VS Code, I want to switch to it.

The problem is that I'm not smart enough to set up a local server.

I last programmed locally under windosw during the Denwer monopoly.

Now I found out that it is a good option to deploy a virtual server on a VirtualBox + Vagrant bundle, but there was a problem that I described in this tick How to run a Vagrant server on VirtualBox? (I would be glad if you can help there too).

Can XAMPP do enough?

I also could not understand how self-sufficient VS Code is. Do I have to put the project on a local server or is VS Code sufficient? Maybe just installed php is enough for VS Code?

Please explain how to teapot. The realization came to me that in setting up a local server, I don’t rummage around at all.

All in one, like denvir

Studio setup

In addition, I would recommend installing a virtual machine and running the same distribution as your hoster.
512 megabytes is enough.
