 * I have installed WordPress locally with wp-cli on macOS 10.11 including macOS
   Apache. localhost/wp-admin works fine. Is it normal that I cannot reach my install
   with localhost/admin? I would appreciate your help.

 * Yes. The admin is at wp-admin, not admin. You should get a 404 on the latter.

 * I know, but when I try to access my projects online, /admin works and redirects
   to wp-login.php.

 * It may be that .htaccess is ignored on your localhost setup.
 * In Apache’s config, try adding this:
 *     ```
       <Directory /path/to/wordpress/root>
         AllowOverride All
       </Directory>
       ```
   
 * then restart apache.

 * Success. Modified /etc/apache2/users/username.conf and now it works. Thank you
   for your quick help Steve.
