Courses Plus Student 253 PointsI realized after I asked the question that MAMP was the Mac version and that XAMPP was the Windows version. I do have MAMP installed already.

If you're talking about the local environment used to develop then yeah I'd recommend using MAMP

Courses Plus Student 253 PointsIt was in reverence to the XAMPP. I didn't realize it was saying to use that on Windows rather than MAMP. I do have MAMP already.
