Installing Wordpress locally. Have I missed how to set up PhpMyAdmin?

I am lost about PhpMyAdmin: how to get to it and how to set it up. Have I missed a section of the course. My dialogues are slightly different to those on the course and I can't get to PhpMyAdmin.

On my machine, the Mamp start page there is a list of root stuff and a pathway to do with it, but I don't understand what to do - I'm lost!

I googled PhpMyAdmin and downloaded the software. In that dialogue box there is a load of checking bits I know nothing about - something about verifying a signature.

I have all the PhpMyAdmin files in my download box, but have no idea where to put them.

Have a missed a whole section on PhpMyAdmin installation?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Diane,

Setting up a wordpress install locally should be fairly simple. If you have downloaded and installed a version of MAMP then you are all set to start the project. I actually answered this in a similar way here

The only difference - I used a skeleton theme but you can skip these steps :)

PhpMyAdmin can be accessed here

I hope this helps

Hi Samuel - thanks for your reply. Ah thanks for that link to PhpMyAdmin - I think that was what I couldn't find! It takes me to the window they have in the course - so I can find my way again. Thanks again Diane
