Install Location

MAMP and MAMP PRO can be installed on any standard Windows drive such as C:, D:, E:, etc. For simplicity, we recommend using the default directory (C:\MAMP). We strongly advise against installing MAMP and MAMP PRO in a system folder, because the MAMP servers (Apache, MySQL, Nginx) require write permissions for the “log”, “configuration”, “htdocs”, and “databases” folders. These permissions cannot be granted if MAMP and MAMP PRO are installed in the Program Files, Windows, User, or other system folder. Changing User Account Control (UAC), Windows Defender, and Work Privileges settings is not recommended and can compromise system security.

By default, MAMP/MAMP PRO is installed in your C:\MAMP and C:\MAMPPRO folders.

Apple Bonjour

By default, Apple Bonjour is installed when you install MAMP PRO. If you choose not to install Apple Bonjour, you will not be able to access your hosts from the MAMP Viewer.

Windows Defender

You may receive a warning from Windows Defender while installing MAMP PRO. This is standard firewall behavior for Windows applications that run as servers. You can “Allow access” to private networks and public networks depending on your needs. You can change your Windows Firewall permissions later if necessary.
