Question

But, I need that this point php to: /Applications/AMPPS/php/bin/php

How can I do it?

Answer 1

you can use complete path to run php. In my case file located in /opt/lampp/bin/php

/opt/lampp/bin/php bin/magento deploy:mode:show

for you start from root folder

/Applications/AMPPS/php/bin/php bin/magento deploy:mode:show

Answer 2

This is the solution I found for mac and it worked for me. Open Terminal and run following command.

    $    export AMPPS_PHP=/Applications/AMPPS/php/bin
    $    export PATH="$AMPPS_PHP:$PATH"
