Though I generally do not recommend it, you can find OSX setup instructions here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Mac_OS_X Cheers, Rob On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 9:24 AM, Harsh Kothari <harshkothari410(a)gmail.com>wrote;wrote: -- Rob Moen Wikimedia Foundation rmoen(a)wikimedia.org

It depends on what you're trying to do with it. If you're looking to create a local test bed to experiment with, there's no reason it has to be particularly complex: just download and run MAMP, create a directory in MAMP's htdocs, then do a normal git clone and follow the usual install instructions (this is assuming you've already installed git). This is also laid out at the bottom of the article Rob linked. If you're looking to create a working site (ie, something you want to share with others and not just experiment with), then yes, it's a bit more complex, but still not too bad, in particular if you have your Mac already set up to act as a server. Don't feel overwhelmed by the link Rob posted -- most of the length and complexity of the article is because it's covering details going back to OS X 10.2.
