Comment (by TJNowell):

 You could use VVV for this but it's no longer the official route so
 mileage may vary, a lot of the VVV references were already removed from
 the handbook. As the VVV project lead we decided to keep just the core
 development template and deprecate the rest, namely the meta environment
 for contributing to wordpress.org itself (forums/Make blog theme/etc) as
 none of the VVV maintainers had a .org sandbox and those who would have
 helped us went in a different direction with dedicated docker setups.

 Our last big push to adjust the .org docs was to make sure they linked to
 ours instead of duplicating install instructions that would become out of
 date.

 If you did want to continue with VVV, you'd install VVV via:

 https://varyingvagrantvagrants.org/docs/en-US/installation/

 Then use the WP Core development site template:

 https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/custom-site-template-develop

 @dd32 I'd suggest for now that the "Setting up a local server" section is
 all that needs rewriting, possibly even merging with the following
 paragraph. As someone arriving on that page being told the specific
 official method would be best but that's always been deliberatley muddied
 in the past. Perhaps it would be best to use that text to link to here:
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/?tab=readme-ov-file#local-
 development

 I would note though, if you're going to make the decision to remove VVV it
 would be nice to be told! We have documentation that needs updating too!
