Checking Apache on CentOS

I am trying to run Apache on my CentOS.(I am having very basic knowledge on linux).

[Apache Start Stop] using this link i tried to run: apachect1 start But I got -bash apachect1: command not found

I also tried to check the status using $ /etc/init.d/nginx status But I got -bash: /etc/init.d/nginx: No such file or directory

Then I tried to check if Apache is installed using : which apache2 But I got /usr/bin/which: no apache2 in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/home/bebo/bin)

It seems that Apache is not installed, however I can see httpd directory in etc folder. Does it have any significance?

Is my assumption correct, if yes how can I install/from where to download & install. Else correct where I am going wrong.

These all the steps will be applied for CentOS 7 and CentOS 8\n(Note also apply on RHEL 7/8)\nI recommend running the below command to auto-remove the unused packages.\nStep 1:\nyum autoremove\n\nStep 2: Now run the below command to update the CentOS\n yum update\n\nStep 3: Installing the apache software package\nyum install httpd\n\nStep 4: Starting the apache service\nThe name of the Apache service is httpd. Use the below command to start and enable it at the same time in CentOS 7 or later version.\nsystemctl enable --now httpd\n\nStep 5: Checking the httpd service status\nsystemctl status httpd\n\nStep 6: Firewall configuration\nAs per now, we have to allow the HTTP service in the firewall. So, you can find the below command useful for that.\nfirewall-cmd --permanent --add-service http\nfirewall-cmd --permanent --add-service https\n\nNow reload the firewall service,\nfirewall-cmd --reload\n\nStep 7: Test the Apache server.\nPut the IP address of your computer or the localhost on the web-browser; it will show you the Apache server is running.\nTo read more about Apache installation, you can visit my blog post.

The best and easiest way to install apache on Centos is using the yum package manager.\n\nJust run the following:\n\nyum install httpd\n\n\nAfter installation depending on your Centos version you start the Apache service as follows:\n\nCentos 6\n\nservice httpd start\n\n\nCentos 7\n\nsystemctl start httpd\n",
