how to open my existing site on mamp

After weeks of trial and error I have the solution. Start Over! Delete Mamp. Re-download it and wordpress and follow this link enter link description here to the letter. It took me several tries but I got it working. I then made a packet with duplicator pro and pasted both the archive and installation.php file in Applications >Mamp>htdocs folder and use the url localhost:8888

sorry i tried to show an image of my site working on localhost but i don’t have 10 points yet so i can’t embed an image. I can prove this works if i get more points i guess.
