To develop a simple website with static elements, a special setup is required: you must be able to access your HTML document at any time with a common browser in order to check the current status of your online project or individual programming steps. However, if you intend to also implement dynamic content that is generated server-side, a web server is indispensable on the computer used for the development of the site in order to display everything correctly. With software stacks like MAMP, the installation process is child’s play, as they contain the latest version of the scripting languages and databases needed for server-side applications. MAMP is the name given to a particular collection of software used to manage a local web server. The name of the package itself is an acronym made up of the initials of the various components used: • Mac OS X as the operating system • Apache 2 as web server software (alternatively also NGINX) • MySQL as the database management system • PHP as the script language (alternatively also Perl or Python) With MAMP, Mac users have access to a software stack that is quick to install and easy to use. The software often serves as a replacement for Apache and PHP versions that are often outdated in Mac OS X systems and automatically installs MySQL, which normally has to be carried out manually on Apple operating systems.

The collection also contains a PHP accelerator such as XCache or eAccelerator; these cache compiled PHP codes are stored in the internal memory, thus significantly accelerating the execution of scripts. MAMP also includes another program of the same name for installing and operating the components. This allows users to define ports and start or stop database servers and web server with just one click. As well as the free version of MAMP, there’s also MAMP PRO, a commercial edition of the stack, which is an extended version of the MAMP application with diverse extensions.
