Setting up local development environment on Mac Sonoma 14.3

I found an article to set up a web server on Mac Sonoma 14, however, it requires use of vi to edit files and I am unable to find documentation about vi.

Use command-line text editors in Terminal on Mac


Vim  is a vi-compatible text editor. It has many powerful enhancements for moving around, searching, and editing documents. Basic editing is simple to learn, and there’s additional functionality to explore. You can access most of the functionality by using keystroke combinations that trigger certain behavior. vim, or the editor it’s modeled after, vi, is found in most UNIX-based operating systems. See the vim man page.

You can use any text editor to edit the files.
