![]() How to install WordPress on your computer (and where to store it).How to install and configure MAMP on your computer.I created this walkthrough to show beginners (like I was!) how to get MAMP up and running on your computer so you’ll have a fully functioning coding environment for developing a WordPress site. MAMP allows you to build and test WordPress sites offline, entirely on your own computer. When you develop a site locally, it means you can build it on your computer and simulate an online environment without putting your site online for the world to see. ![]() Have you ever tested out a small change on your WordPress site only to have the entire site come crashing down? Or maybe you’ve tried to build a new site-not wanting the world to see it yet-only to notice that your test site is receiving traffic from Google.Ī solution to problems like these (and others) is creating websites locally using the free MAMP application. It’s a good question, because streamlining your coding environment is particularly important in WordPress. When I first started coding, one of the things I struggled with most was figuring out my “set up.” I wanted to know how exactly programmers get their code online: Where do they write it? How do they transition between building a site and making it live? Where do all the files live? Where do you make edits if you want to change a file that’s already online? I didn’t know at the time, but my question was really: “How should I set up my coding environment?”
