Props to Woody for hand-holding and instructions on this.
There are 3 main ways to install Ushahidi 3.x on Mac OS:
- Using Vagrant virtual machine
- Using Homebrew to install mysql and run Ushahidi natively
- Use Mamp
Vagrant is generally recommended for Ushahidi 3.x because it allows you to isolate your environment, and you don't have to manage a *AMP (Apache-Mysql-Php) stack on your Mac. Homebrew is recommended over Vagrant if you're going to develop other websites locally on your Mac. Mamp is last on the list of recommendations.
