alwayspaws Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 @Traumflug said in What's the best way to test new themes?: A local installation is just fine for testing. sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache-mod-php mysql and one has a fine web setup accessible via http://localhost/. These webhosters use the same software, after all. Do I just open terminal and enter that command? I would like to create a local installation but I'm on a Mac and have already attempted MAMP & MAMP PRO. It's not for me. Is there any alternative?

It is the hooks and modules that I am having to figure out. :| I'm sorry I can't help with hooks and modules. You're ahead of me. I don't know php. Just HTML.

Traumflug Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 sudo: apt-get: command not found Obviously you have no Debian/Ubuntu based system, so I can't help much. Googling terms: LAMP (Linux), MAMP (Mac), perhaps even WAMP (Windows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 I'm on a Mac and already went through MAMP. I'll just use my online test sites. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
