If you followed the steps and were lucky, everything went well and you ended up with an infrastructure on your computer where you could install WordPress. If you didn’t want to install and configure Apache, MySQL, and PHP step by step, another option is MAMP. It used to be a good idea to have a step-by-step tutorial at hand when installing and configuring each of the three previous components ( Neil Gee’s guides were always my best choice). I started a few years ago by setting the typical PHP and MySQL installation with Apache directly on my old black Macbook. Here I’ll tell you a little about my experience on this. Nowadays there are many options for setting up a WordPress development environment locally. And the most important thing is that creating a new WordPress installation and starting to work on it has to be a really simple process so you don’t waste your time (and therefore your money) in setting up this type of infrastructure. Whether you’re designing and developing WordPress themes or plugins or just creating webs for customers, you’ll need to have multiple WordPress installations to work with on a daily basis.
