OK, if you are not running apache or nginx, you should install the php-cli package instead.
So that seems to get installed anyway as a dependency on its own.
Yes, it does. But by using the php package and not php-cli, you probably got apache installed on your system as well - by dependencies.
You could find out by running: apt list --installed | grep apache
Or systemctl status apache2 to see if it's running.
Even if it was, Laravel uses Artisan's server.
I'm guessing they are invoking php's built-in webserver.
Regardless, the point is that if you swap php to php-cli in your install guide you don't get apache and other stuff you don't need.
