Installation and setup of Wordpress using the MAMP server tool. We first download all the WP(Wordpress) required software. In this case, we need a stack of Apache, Mysql, PHP, and we're going to install it locally under our Mac OS Lion.

After you install all the necessary software, make sure you create the Sites directory under your Home folder. Also, make sure you change the root directory of the apache server, in this case from htdocs(default) to ~/Sites/
Create a database connection using sequel pro and create a wordpress database to store all different type of database tables, including posts and pages.
Next, it times to enter the wordpress configuration file under wp-config.php. Here you should put the database setting we used under the sequel pro software.
DB-name: wordpress
DB-user: root
DB-password: root
