Install locally with DDEV (Mac OS)

For this, you will only need

  • Docker
  • Terminal or some sort
  • Code editor
  • Git if you wish to make the workflow

Install DDEV with brew if you haven’t already

brew tap drud/ddev && brew install ddev 

Setup project

Start the Docker engine and ensure it’s not being used anywhere else

# Create a working folder e.g my-wp-site
mkdir my-wp-site

# Go to new directory
cd my-wp-site

# Configuring the site
ddev config --project-type=wordpress --docroot=web --create-docroot

#Ensure all Docker containers are not running 
docker stop $(docker ps -a -q) 

# Start the engine site
ddev start

# And launch the rocket

ddev launch

This should take you to the Wordpress standard install and ask you to choose language and admin user with password. Once you finished this, you dont have to add database details.

If you wish to access the MySQL phpMyAdmin you can go via port 8037:

https://wp.ddev.site:8037/db_structure.php?server=1&db=db

Here’s the successfull initiation look like. The last lines are where your local WP install is.

Have fun!
