How to install Wordpress on my computer using MAMP

When i started working with **Wordpress** one problem that i encounter was the fact that i had to install it on my online server. My real problem is the fact that i m doing a beta test of my sites i dont want them to be online. So i had to install **Wordpress** on my computer.

So let s get started...

**1.** First, i had to download and install [**MAMP**](http://kaitect.com/17700067/mamp-download) Go the site, download and install. Quite simple. :) ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.44.14.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPNhukNCXsyo9yECCjSzbemaE5ZpbWaJ6Q1nCcUS2X93f/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.44.14.png) **2.** Then open **MAMP**, go to *preferences* and select a folder where your sites are going to be install. ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.45.06.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSJT36e3EF49Qc7tNKSr1p23GCEtNJGtdhG97Xqp6fJ6Q/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.45.06.png) **3.** Now download [**WORDPRESS**](http://kaitect.com/17700067/wordpress-download) from wordpress.org ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.45.48.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRzo3zL4VsuHLFbQ1DvSWkxo6qRWFeVcvUfBDEuvsqw82/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.45.48.png) **4.** Inside your **MAMP** sites folder, create a folder and put the **Wordpress** downloaded files. ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.50.00.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ54X6NJ53hFdoFtDurVZxCcd6hoHVseDY8vFw5s3gu9o/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.50.00.png) **5.** The tricky part is to go to your **phpMyAdministrator** and create a new *database* with the name of your site. ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.50.58.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYrFLSMJ9fudQtSCJWHZk3iiw8mkbgv5HKcbADefvkbj7/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.50.58.png) ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.51.47.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVMKmfC6xvSwitpE6FR1sHyqBvgCZvSgVRbc2jRDdaJCi/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.51.47.png) **6.** Go to your **MAMP** Homepage and select **MAMP WEBSITE** Page, in the menu Select The folder where your wordpress files are. ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.52.10.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV2YvcW1VazK4NVoigANBmcEBx8H2ocrvYmThRHFMuic2/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.52.10.png) **7.** Run the 5 min install **Wordpress** wizard. ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.52.19.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNLyw3cyUKxuSSVymFDC8ZoSaJKAsTFMV9TLd9Vsgotrj/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.52.19.png) When the wizard asks for **DATABASE Name**, write the name of the *database* you created. User and Password are - *root* and *root*. ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.52.48.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRvT6mH1qUAjpHzZa9qRHxMa31sj1fqeJ62snbfqRE7Vt/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.52.48.png) **Thats it.** ![Screen Shot 2017-08-29 at 19.53.58.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYuGG31gkpoKYw18N7b3pPTQfaE3gjXfqS6s33CAJb2qe/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-29%20at%2019.53.58.png)
