I would like to install Moodle in order to test develop courses though I also have a Mamp Pro installation existing and doubt that I should overwrite the existing Mamp. I run WordPress locally to test features to implement in my WordPress websites. I've been unable to find guidance and would appreciate any suggestions. I can develop a database in myphp as part of Mamp Pro and have an htdocs folder in which I'd think Moodle might reside. I'd much appreciate any tips.
Hi
That is the down side of all-in-one, GUI-enhanced packages. If know your system well and not afraid of the command line, you can do the (Unix) equivalent of https://docs.moodle.org/en/Installation_quick_guide.

Dear Visvanath: Thanks so much, though my unix skills are lacking though I think I might struggle through with Rick's suggestions. Much appreciate the help.
Steve, I run an experimental version of Moodle on my MAMP. Here are the four quick steps.
1) Create a mysql database for moodle, use utf8_unicode_ci collation, remember the username and password.
2) Create a moodledata folder one level down from htdocs. chmod 777 rights.
3) Download and unpack moodle into a folding in htdocs. I tend to use "moodle".
4) In your browser, go to this moodle folder location. Then install will start.
Thanks so much Rick. Extremely helplful.
