You can also install it using yum, but you want to manually install it on Fedora 18 desktop.

Reference: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html

An error occurred during installation:

Configure: error: APR not found

So I downloaded and installed all the dependent packages by referring to the install guide.
