Objective

The scope of this tutorial is to learn how to install Drupal 9 on a local host in macOS. It is important to notice installing drupal using composer is the recommended method by Drupal. This alternative method is good for testing and experimentation purposes, but not for a production environment.

1. Start MAMP localhost server
2. Create a Drupal folder
3. Create a database
4. Follow Drupal Install Wizard
5. That’s it!
