MAMP

What is MAMP?

MAMP is a comprehensive, self-contained local server environment that enables rapid setup and management of web development projects on Mac OS X computers. It installs Apache, PHP, and MySQL within seconds, without requiring any manual configuration or modification of system settings. This free-of-charge solution can coexist alongside existing Apache installations, allowing users to maintain their current setup while benefiting from the convenience of MAMP. When no longer needed, MAMP can be easily removed by deleting its folder, restoring the system to its original state without any lingering impact. For users seeking advanced features, MAMP PRO offers a professional-grade frontend that streamlines the creation of individual hosts for each web project, simplifies the installation of platforms like WordPress, and provides seamless publishing to live servers directly from the MAMP PRO interface
