Firt thing you must know is that you need to become your mac into a Apache server.
So, you need to install MySQL and PHP too.
For this, one of the simplest way is to install a software called MAMP.
Remember that change you Mac into an Apache server is very ease, you just have to Share Web at the System Preferences.
But I suggest to make it with MAMP in order to make all in a simple step.
SERVER CONFIGURATION
Download MAMP, unziped and copy the program at the Aplication folder.
(NOTE: It does not work a any other folder)
Launch the Mamp aplication (it will launch automatically) and the main page will open.
Click at phpMyAdmin and you will see this data:
Host: localhost
Port: 8889
User: root
Password: root
You also will see some line command to make other configuration, but thanks to Joomla! instalation process you will not use it.
INSTALLING JOOMLA!
Once you download Joomla! package unziped it.
Copy all the content of this folder in the following paht:
Aplications/MAMP/htdocs/
Now open your browser at: http://localhost:8888 and press return.
You will see pre-installation page with XML, MySQL, PHP details and other specifications.
Click NEXT.
SQL CONFIGURATION
You will see the follow and fill if necessary the next.
Server name: localhost
MySQL Password: root
Database name: what ever you want
Prefijo: jos_ (it come indicated)
Click NEXT
Now you will received user an password for system administrator.
IMPORTAN NOTICE: Now you have to go to: Aplications/MAMP/htdocs and delete the INSTALLATION directory. Ohterwise Joomla is not going to work.
Now in your browser go to: http://localhost:8888 and ENJOY IT!!
