How to install a copy of Apache into a local custom directory via Terminal (to ~/Desktop/
for example), so it can live without conflicts with another global version of Apache and I cant start and stop it from there?

homebrew
Consider using homebrew to manage a private, isolated, installation of Apache httpd
on your Mac.
To install brew
and Apache httpd
on your Mac, follow the steps on homebrew; the two main steps are:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"
This will install the brew
command line tool.
Next use jabberwik's tap to install httpd
:
brew tap jabberwik/homebrew-httpd
brew install httpd24
MAMP
An alternative approach is to use a pre-packaged application, such as MAMP. Running MAMP will immediately provide Apache httpd, PHP and MySQL preconfigured and ready to use.

When I run this, it doesn't include any of the apache modules so I get errors like httpd: Syntax error on line 171 of /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/httpd.conf: Cannot load libexec/mod_rewrite.so Dec 3, 2015 at 19:13
