1) There is no need of new PHP version for each new website. The same PHP version can apply for multiple websites.
2) You need to execute these commands one by one in your console on Ubuntu 18.04 in order to install a WordPress website.

You need to check if MySQL service is up and running. If MySQL is not running, you need to start it, then run ‘mysql_secure_installation’ .

Do not forget to use a strong password during the mysql_secure_installation process.

Any idea how to fix this issue? Thanks!

You need to create a symlink to enable the virtual host:
ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/localhost.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/localhost.conf

ubuntu 19
local VM
IP address 192.168.2.13 (local)

I am still getting text displayed of the localhost/wordpress/index.php instead of the WP setup screen.
I already enabled mod_rewrite module and was confirmed through apache message.

Created /www/html/wordpress/.htaccess file and put the following contents:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

=============Contents of /etc/apache2/sites-available/localhost.conf===========

ServerAdmin admin@localhost
ServerName 192.168.2.13t
ServerAlias tnss
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your_domain.com_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your_domain.com_access.log combined

thanks and regards
