Which way to deploy a local server on Mac OS X should I choose?

Question

local server

Hello.
The other day I started getting acquainted with OS X, before that I worked with Denwer on windows. As you already understood, I am engaged in web development at an amateur level.
After reading articles on habré and answers to similar questions on toster, I identified several options for installing a local server on OS X:
1). Use built-in system components.
2). Install a virtual machine with Ubuntu and deploy the server there.
3). Buy MAMP Pro (which you wouldn't want with free options).
The question is, which option should an amateur choose?

Answer 1

You can install the required technology stack with brew, you can use Vagrant and Papet, or you can throw xampp or nginx.
I'm closer to xamp. Hemorrhoids are the least.
