If you are a macOS user, ServBay.dev is worth to try. You don't need to spend some time or couple of days to setup anything. Just download it and you can use it immediately. You can run multiple PHP versions simultaneously and switch between them effortlessly.
Honestly, this tool has greatly simplified my PHP development and is definitely worth trying!

A tool called ServBay is catching on. It seems that it could help developers deploy the environment within 3 minutes.
Does anyone hear of this?

Fantastic high-level overview for developers coming from other languages! Gives just the right jump-in to PHP without fluff. On Windows, I’ve been using ServBay to quickly spin up PHP, databases, web servers, Composer, and HTTPS—zero config, all ready in a click.
