title: How to install MySQL/Apache/PHP on Mac OS X?
body: <p>Do you guys recommend using MAMP, or should I go about a manual install? I am savvy enough to do the install manually (I have done many manual Apache installs with Ruby on Rails in the past), but I am not sure if MAMP is worth it.</p>
  
  <p>Any guides, tips, or opinions are welcomed, as well!</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>This will be used for development purposes. Speed/Efficiency is not the most important thing. As long as php/apache/mysql are all available, I should be okay.</p>
  
  <p>Keep in mind, MySQL has already been installed (using Homebrew), and I prefer to install mysql/postgresql that way.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
