Multiple development languages supported

MAMP’s core components are the ones that make up its abbreviation. Macintosh, Apache, MySQL, as well as PHP, form this. However, the application uses more than just these options for your local server environment.

You can choose to use Nginx in place of Apache, the leading HTTP server. You can also choose to use Ruby, Python, and Perl instead of a popular web development language such as PHP. This aspect provides great utility as Python is an easy-to-learn language that others already use for many projects.

Our take

MAMP is a fantastic LSE, supporting multiple development languages. It’s a great option if you can’t afford MAMP Pro’s extra tools, and it has more usability than its other alternative, XAMPP. As the application functions on almost any device, you can quickly take a project on the go with the added cloud feature.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you need a robust free local server environment, this application is an ideal choice.
