Using MAMP for local Drupal development
I use MAMP for my local Drupal development on my Apple computer.
If you would like to do the same, first download the most recent version of MAMP and install it locally. When you are done, you should have directories for both MAMP
and MAMP PRO
in your /Applications
directory.
To run the application, double click MAMP.app
inside the MAMP directory. Once it's up and running, you should see a MAMP widget with a cute elephant icon.
