1. Go to "http://www.mamp.info/en/index" and click on the gray Elephant on the left that says "Download Now"
2. After MAMP downloads a screen will pop up. Click and drag the folder icon that has the gray MAMP Elephant on it into your applications folder.
3. Open the MAMP folder that is now located in Applications. Double click on the circular gray Elephant to launch MAMP.

5. On the MAMP start page that says, "Welcome to MAMP" click on the link "phpMyAdmin" under the MySQL heading.
6. Under MySQL localhost is a text box with the heading "Create new database." In this box type "wordpress" (without quotations) and click create.
7. Now, go to "http//wordpress.org/" and download wordpress. Once it finishes downloading it will be in the form of a folder in your download window.
8. Go to your applications folder.
9. Open your MAMP folder and open the folder entitled "htdocs."
10. Go back to your download window where the wordpress folder is. Right click and hit "show in finder." When the finder window opens displaying the wordpress folder, click and drag the wordpress folder (or copy and paste the entire folder) into the "htdocs" folder you opened in MAMP.
