The last sentence of step 1 tells you how to start Apache. Just to confuse you, it doesn't say "apache" anywhere!

sudo is a command used in the Terminal to allow you to do something with administrator privileges. For example, if you were going to edit a file called /etc/apache2/httpd.conf with the emacs program, you would type

sudo emacs /etc/apache2/httpd.conf (followed by the <return> key)

and after you supplied your password, sudo would invoke the emacs program and tell it to open that file for you to edit, with administrator privileges. Now, I'm guessing that you might not know how to edit files with emacs, or vi, or pico, or any of the other usual unix editors, and that's a problem I'm not going to attempt to fix for you, though I'll help you get started on fixing it yourself :-)

If you just type

emacs

in the Terminal (again followed by the <return> key) you will get an introductory screen that gives instructions on how to get help and learn the program by going through the tutorial. You'll want to allow more than a few minutes for this step, I think :-)
