 * **Figured it out for anybody out there having the same problems as me.**
 * Turns out I was being quite silly and my directory path was incorrect. Check 
   out this walk-through set-up tutorial here:

 * Thanks for your speedy responses. Only getting a chance to try to resolve this
   now. The Apache port within MAMP preferences allows you to define a document 
   root (which I had defined previously). I have redefined this as the htdocs folder‘/
   Applications/MAMP/htdocs’.
 * Sooooo, I’ve attempted the following in my browser:
    • [http://localhost:8888/Users/admin/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost:8888/Users/admin/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php)•
   [http://localhost:8888/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost:8888/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php)•
   [http://localhost:8888/michaels-imac.local/Users/admin/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost:8888/michaels-imac.local/Users/admin/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php)•
   [http://localhost:8888/michaels-imac.local/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost:8888/michaels-imac.local/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-admin/install.php)
 * Don’t know what else to try!
 * Thanks again for helping…
