It says I have to buy MAMP pro because the regular version might have "unexpected errors" on my system. What to do?

MAMP says the regular version may have errors on my system. What does that mean? I have a macOS Sierra 10.12.6. Can anyone help me out? I'd like to figure this out and continue with the course.

I think you should be fine. I've used MAMP for years, never had a problem. I've also not see that error though. But I'd give the free version a shot first.

When I tried to run MAMP a warning popped up and said that version would have "unexpected errors" and suggested I buy Pro. No one said I had to, but the message suggested I do so.
