How do I install php-cgi? I tried MacPort, Package

I am trying to install php-cgi on my macbook (Yosemite 10.9.3) because the PhpStorm IDE keeps coming back to me "php-cgi not found" when i try to open things in browser. I tried to use a newer version of php interpreter because the current version is 5.4. But I can only find the packages in the php.net site but I have no clue how to install it. I also tried to download homebrew but again have no clue how to start there. I tried to use MacPort to install a fastcgi by using this line: sudo port install php5 +fastcgi

But it returns this:

I run a self-update with the MacPort already (version 2.3.0). Can anyone help out? Thank you so much!

P.S. For PhpStorm, I am forced to use the built-in web server when i try to view the code in the browser. If anyone got a way to do that without their built-in server, that would be great too. I have a zend server installed already.

P.S. I am using NetBeans now. But I guess it is good to make sure I get things like this settled while I am working on other things.

It took me a few tries to get PhpStorm setup with MacPorts. These are the basic steps:

sudo port install php53 php53-cgi

This should create /opt/local/bin/php53 and php-cgi53, so next:

cd /opt/local/bin
ln -s php53 php
ln -s php-cgi53 php-cgi

Then register the PHP Interpreter with PHP Home set to /opt/local/bin and it should detect it and "Open in Browser" correctly.

You are NOT forced in any way.

Just configure Deployment entry (Preferences | Deployment) and mark it as Default for this project. The URL defined there will be used when previewing pages from PhpStorm.

Without deployment entry the built-in web server is used by default.
