WordPress run on PHP’s build on server

I am thinking that as we can use PHP’s built-in server to run Laravel/Symfony and other frameworks locally, Isn’t it possible to run WordPress locally using PHP’s built-in server?

I am trying to run PHP built-in server for WordPress and Simply try to run the server indicating the document root to the WordPress index.php,

php -S localhost:2000 index.php

But It’s not working and showing some errors like The localhost page isn’t working and similar.

  1. Don’t specify index.php on the command line. Run the server like:
    php -S localhost:9000

    You should be in the root directory of wordpress when running this command. Or Specify the webroot with the -t flag:

    php -S localhost:9000 -t <Directory Containing WordPress>
