0:06 I'm Alena Holligan, a PHP teacher here at Treehouse, and long time developer. 0:11 Most developers prefer to build applications locally,. 0:14 on their own computers, rather than on a hosted server. 0:18 Working locally, allows you to work more quickly. 0:21 Because you don't have to wait for changes to be saved to a remote server. 0:25 And, you don't have to worry about issues, like Internet connectivity. 0:29 Working with files locally also allows tighter integration,.
0:33 with development tools. 0:36 In addition, one of the best things about programming as a career,. 0:39 is the ability to work from anywhere. 0:43 While all these reasons are good, the most important reason for. 0:46 having a local development environment,. 0:49 is you should never be working directly on a production server.
0:52 Always test your code before it goes live. 0:56 To make use of these advantages, we need to set up a local development environment. 1:01 This means installing the programs we need for. 1:04 our local computer to work as a web server. 1:07 Namely, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
1:10 There are many different ways to set up a local development environment. 1:15 Most involve at least some use of the command line and. 1:18 can be pretty scary if you don't know what you're doing. 1:22 I'll be showing you a quick and simple method,. 1:25 which will allow even complete beginners to get up and running within minutes. 1:29 Make sure you check out the notes, for more resources and advanced options. 1:34 Let's get started!.
1:36 In our web browser, let's search for MAMP. 1:40 The first one is MAMP & MAMP Pro at mamp.info. 1:44 Click on Downloads and then Download again. 1:48 This may take a little while to download depending on your Internet connection. 1:52 Once the file is downloaded, open the installer and. 1:54 it will guide you through these necessary steps to install the software. 1:58 Make sure you allow it to make changes to the computer.
2:01 Choose your language of choice. 2:07 And if you'd like to install MAMP Pro at this time, leave the box checked. 2:11 If you want more information about MAMP Pro, check out the notes. 2:16 Make sure you read and agree to the terms. 2:26 And let the software install. 2:28 MAMP & MAMP Pro have been installed successfully you may close the installer.
2:33 Go to your C drive, where you will see the MAMP the MAMP Pro folders. 2:38 You can also launch MAMP from the shortcut if you created one. 2:42 And MAMP we'll go into MAMP and this is where the magic happens. 2:47 It starts our server and turns our computer into a web server.
2:52 We open the start page and we'll see information about our server. 2:55 We'll see our MySQL install which is our database.
2:59 You have your tools, either phpMyAdmin or phpLiteAdmin, for. 3:03 administering the database. 3:05 Also, phpInfo for all the information about our PHP install.
3:10 For now, take off everything after localhost and. 3:13 this is where our website is. 3:15 Right now, it just says Index of/, because there's nothing there, so.
3:19 let's fix that first. 3:20 Open you text editor. 3:23 And let's type Test. 3:25 We're going to save this into C://MAMP/htdocs.
3:33 This is where MAMPS stores our files for our website by default. 3:36 Type index.php and hit save. 3:41 Now when we go back to the browser and refresh our page, we'll see Test. 3:45 If I go back into MAMP and stop the server, and then go back into my web. 3:50 browser and click refresh, we're gonna get an error because our server's not running. 3:56 So before you test your website, make sure that you start your servers in MAMP. 4:01 Now, when we refresh, we see our website again.
4:05 Congratulations. 4:06 Technically, that's all we need to do.
4:08 However, I want to show you one configuration step. 4:10 that will make our workflow a little easier. 4:13 Most people find it better to work in the Documents folder,. 4:16 usually within a sites folder, and then separate folders for each project. 4:20 So let's set that up.
4:22 We'll go into our text editor, and here we're gonna just add Documents, so. 4:27 that we know that it's looking into a new location. 4:29 So we go File Save As, and we're gonna go into our Documents. 4:35 Create a folder called sites. 4:38 And then a new folder called testsites. 4:42 We'll leave it as index.php and click Save. 4:46 Now we go back into MAMP and under Preferences,.
4:50 you'll see the Web Server tab. 4:52 You see that the document root shows CMAMP htdocs. 4:57 This is what we want to change, so click Select. 5:00 Go into Documents sites testsite, and click OK. 5:06 Now we click OK again, and MAMP will restart our servers.
5:10 Now when we go back to the web browser and. 5:13 click refresh, we'll see that it says Test Documents, and.
5:16 we know that it's now looking in the new location for our website. 5:21 If I wanted to have multiple projects, I could set that up with MAMP,. 5:25 without using MAMP Pro, by just changing our root document. 5:28 This will allow me to have multiple websites, but only one running at a time. 5:33 Let's give this a try.
5:35 Go back into your text editor and. 5:39 we're going to say Test Website 2. 5:43 And then we're going to save this as testsite2.
5:52 Leave it as index and Save. 5:55 Now we go back into MAMP. 5:58 Back to our preferences, our web server and we're going to change this location. 6:04 So instead of being in this testsite folder we're now going into testsite2. 6:10 We'll click OK, and OK again. 6:13 Again, our servers will restart, and then we can go back into the browser.

6:19 Now when we hit refresh, you'll see that it says Test Website 2. 6:24 So now we have two different websites that we can go back and. 6:27 forth between using just MAMP.
6:30 Remember, if you wanna test out your other site, you need to go back into MAMP,. 6:33 Preferences Web Server, and once again, change the document route. 6:40 Now that you have your local dev environment set up,. 6:43 you're ready to code anywhere. 6:45 A laptop might come in handy too.
