Trouble installing MAMP

I downloaded and ran the MAMP installer. After entering my administrator password and clicking "install," I get an error message which says: "The installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install."

I am totally lost. Please help?

Sorry to hear you are having problems. Sounds like you got an incomplete MAMP_MAMP_PRO_3.4.pkg. So delete what you have. Then download it again. It should be 251.4 MB.

WAMP, on Windows machines, can be a problem. But MAMP is usually extremely easy!

Thank you! The original download was the correct size, but redownloading it worked great!
