Install wordpress plugin on the local machine

I am making a site in wordpress, the problem is that as I am new I am testing everything on my local machine, for this I configured apache and installed wordpress.

In /etc/hosts file I configured my wordpress with the following Route:

127.0.0.1       question.com.br question

My problem is that now I want to install my first plugin and I came across the screen where it asks me for the Hostname, and I have no idea what it is.

Can anyone me help?

Update

Improved my situation a bit by adding the line

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

But he started installing but gave the following error on output:

Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/profile-builder.2.3.1.zip…

Unpacking the package…

Could not create directory.

Is there a permission issue in the folder?

I've tried the following commands in my folder but they didn't work:

maquinha@maquinha-desktop-1 /usr/share $ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data wordpress/
maquinha@maquinha-desktop-1 /usr/share $ sudo chmod -R g+rw wordpress/

This is my exit from permissions for command ls -l

You can download the Unzip plugins and put in the folder "wp-content/ plugins/", then just activate direct in the admin panel, or add the next line to wp-config.php

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

With this configuration you will also be able to upgrade to Wordpress from the admin panel, without it when there is an update to Wordpress will appear the same form that is now appearing...
