How to install wpengine hosted multisite locally

I used Search-Replace-DB from https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB to replace domain urls for the site I needed to develop.

I also had trouble with the WP Sharely plugin which was enabled sitewide – it was looking for an activation file on a NAS box in the cloud somewhere. Once I disabled sitewide plugins manually in the DB, I was able to log in and view the site.

As advised by wpengine, I removed their platform specific code from the mu-plugins folder and also the object-cache.php from /wp-content

I have deleted my wp-config from above for security.
