## Installing SilverStripe
###Composer
Composer (PHP's package manager) is the prefered way to install SilverStripe and ensure you get the correct set of files for your project.
Composer uses your MAMP PHP executible to run and also requires Git (so it can automatically download the required files from GitHub).
Process to install is as follows:
1. Install [git for mac](http://git-scm.com/download/mac).
2. Install composer using the instructions at https://gist.github.com/kkirsche/5710272
3. Run the following command to get a fresh copy of SilverStripe via composer:
composer create-project silverstripe/installer /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/silverstripe/
4. You can now [use composer]() to manage future SilverStripe updates and adding modules with a few easy commands.
###Package Download
[Download](http://silverstripe.org/download) the latest SilverStripe installer package. Copy the tar.gz file to the 'Document Root' for MAMP - By Default its `/Applications/MAMP/htdocs`.
Don't know what your Document Root is? Open MAMP Click `Preferences -> Apache`.
Extract the tar.gz file to a folder, e.g. `silverstripe/` (you always move the tar.gz file first and not the other way
around as SilverStripe uses a '.htaccess' file which is hidden from OSX so if you move SilverStripe the .htaccess file
won't come along.
won't come along.
Open your web browser and go to `http://localhost:8888/silverstripe/`. Enter your database details - by default with MAMP its user `root` and password `root` and select your account details. Click "Check Details".
###Run the installation wizard
Once you have a copy of the required code (by either of the above methods), open your web browser and go to `http://localhost:8888/silverstripe/`. Enter your database details - by default with MAMP its user `root` and password `root` and select your account details. Click "Check Details".
Once everything is sorted hit "Install!" and Voila, you have SilverStripe installed
