MAMP Documentation

Installation

To use MAMP, your system must meet the following requirements:

  • Microsoft Windows 10 or later (32-bit or 64-bit)
  • 1 GB RAM
  • .NET Framework 4.0
  1. Download MAMP from www.mamp.info.

  2. Double-click MAMP-MAMP-PRO-5.x.x.exe in your Downloads folder.

  3. The Windows Installer guides you through the installation process.

MAMP can be installed on any standard Windows drive (C:, D:, E:, etc.). We recommend the default directory C:\MAMP. Do not install MAMP in a system folder (Program Files, Windows, User, etc.) – the MAMP servers require write permissions for log, conf, htdocs, and db directories that Windows cannot grant in system folders.

The installer creates both a C:\MAMP PRO folder and a C:\MAMP folder. If you do not want to use MAMP PRO, you can ignore the C:\MAMP PRO folder.

Make sure you have the latest version of MAMP 4 installed before upgrading to MAMP 5. Before upgrading, back up your database data from C:\MAMP\db.

  1. Download MAMP from www.mamp.info.

  2. Double-click MAMP-MAMP-PRO-5.x.x.exe.

  3. Follow the Windows Installer prompts.

Use Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall MAMP. The Windows Uninstaller also removes MAMP PRO.
