Magento 2 on Mac install

[plyinformg3fd1]

Running cmd on MacOS

using MAMP as the linux server

Magento2-2.3

I am in the root directory of my magento server

xxxxxx@Peters-MBP magento2-2.3 % 

if I type in  magento:install or php magento:install I get

Could not open input file: bin\magento:install

the file is there as you can see

xxxxxxx@Peters-MBP bin % ls

magento

So frustrating...

It seems like you are trying to run the Magento 2 installation command in the wrong directory. To run the command, navigate to the root directory of your Magento installation and then run the command as "php bin/magento setup:install". Make sure that you have all the required dependencies and configurations set up for your Magento installation.

The key steps involved are as follows:

1. Set up a local server stack like MAMP or XAMPP to create a web server environment with PHP, MySQL, and Apache.
2. Download and configure Composer, a dependency management tool.
3. Clone the Magento 2 repository from GitHub to obtain the code.
4. Create a Magento 2 configuration file containing database credentials and other configurations.
5. Install and configure Magento 2 using specific commands in the command line.
6. Access the Magento 2 storefront and admin panel through a web browser.

By following these steps, users can successfully install Magento 2 on macOS for local development purposes.
