About MAMP
MAMP installs a local server stack in a few clicks so you can run and test websites on your own computer. You can choose Apache or Nginx as the web server alongside MySQL, and work with PHP, Python, Perl or Ruby. It is commonly used for WordPress development and testing.
The free MAMP covers the basic stack. MAMP PRO is a paid front end that creates a separate host for each project and installs WordPress, Joomla or Drupal with a few clicks.
