Get the “lightning” version of Local here: https://localwp.com/ I use it on my Mac to run a localhost WordPress site.

Note that running a site on your Mac is local only. If you want a site ‘out there on the web’, you’ll need to purchase hosting.

What @sterndata said is correct, however it is possible to install WordPress on your Mac and have it live to the web, however it’s quite technical. Mac systems have Apache pre-installed, so you wouldn’t need to worry about that. This article might be helpful, but it could depend on lots of other factors, such as your network.
