137 PointsHow to install (step by step) WordPress on MacBook?
I am new to the blog thing and wordpress reveals itself to be complex to deal with on a Mac laptop. Trying to install for free. Anybody had been through this recently? willing to walk me through? As of now, I am trying to install MAMP to then install wordpress; this is what I found in my researches. Please help.

If you're not already familiar with WordPress I would recommend looking at the Learn WordPress track first but this course on the WordPress Development track details how you'd install it.
