What is the easiest way to have a local LAMP installation for web development on mac OS X?

I'm new to mac os x. In the Windows XP world, there are packages available, like easyPHP, wampserver, uniformserver, that enable you to have a local webserver complete with php, mysql configured via an automatic installer. Really handy.

I need the same on my new mac. I know mac os x comes with a local webserver. Is this already with php, mysql preinstalled?

I'd like to have you guys advise on the easiest way to have this local lamp so that i can continue developing on this nice and shiny machine.

thanks!
