You may be using a ubuntu machine or you are creating virtual host on ubuntu server.
Open terminal using ctrl+alt+T in ubuntu, putty on windows. Connect with ssh if you are going to creating virtual host on ubuntu server.

sudo apt-get update  (it will update all libraries)
cd /var/www          (Move to www path)
sudo mkdir -p example1.com/public_html    (it will create both directory example1.com and example1.com/public_html)
sudo mkdir -p example2.com/public_html    (it will create both directory example2.com and example2.com/public_html)
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
sudo cp 000-default.conf example1.com.conf
sudo cp 000-default.conf example2.com.conf
nano example1.com.conf and put below code in it

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example1.com
ServerName example1.com
ServerAlias www.example1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example1.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>


nano example2.com.conf and put below code in it

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example1.com
ServerName example2.com
ServerAlias www.example2.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example2.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>


sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf


sudo a2ensite example1.com.conf


sudo a2ensite example2.com.conf


sudo systemctl restart apache2


cd /var/www


nano example1.com/public_html/index.html and put "Welcome to example1.com"


nano example2.com/public_html/index.html and put "Welcome to example2.com"


now you need to make host entries to your local machines.


on ubuntu you need to open /etc/hosts file and make host entry like


xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx example1.com
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www.example1.com
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx example2.com
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www.example2.com


Now your subdomains/virtual host are ready.
Centos

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80>
  ServerName dev.local
  ServerAlias www.dev.local
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/dev.local"
  ErrorLog /var/www/html/dev.local/logs/error_log
  CustomLog /var/www/html/dev.local/logs/access_log common
  <Directory "/var/www/html/dev.local/">
    allow from all
    AllowOverride All
    Options +Indexes
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost local.dev:80>
  ServerName dev.local
  ServerAlias www.dev.local
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/dev.local"
  ErrorLog /var/www/html/dev.local/logs/error_log
  CustomLog /var/www/html/dev.local/logs/access_log common
  <Directory "/var/www/html/dev.local/">
    allow from all
    AllowOverride All
