This installer will install the “MAMP” folder and the “MAMP PRO” application in the “Applications” directory. Do not move or rename the MAMP folder.

When MAMP PRO is launched for the first time, an additional helper tool is installed. The MAMP PRO Helper Tool is a daemon that helps MAMP PRO perform certain tasks in the background and maintain the stability and functionality of the application. You will be prompted to enter your macOS user password to authorize the installation.
