You can use VVV – fully setted up server with all required software (installed and configured for wordpress).
Hi @derekdonovan.
As it doesn’t gives you an error of bad credentials or database not found, that error is when it doesn’t finds the SQL server.
Look in Mamp, check if your MySQL runs on a certain port. The free version of Mamp has different ports out of the box for both Apache and MySQL.
By default MySQL is on port 8889.
In your WP install process, for the database address fill in “localhost:8889” instead of just “localhost”.
Now it will find the database.
Let us know if it worked.
