Is there any way we can install magento 2.4 install on Mac OS ?

Answer 1

1. Use MAMP in mac for Magento 2.

2. You can try docker method also.

Answer 2

I assume by you saying that it is "a paid software", you are referring to Magento Cloud version (aka now called Adobe Commerce), and not the open-source version.

I'd like to reiterate what @mahesh-v said by using Docker. We've been using it at our company for both the open source and cloud versions and it's been working great.

I'm a fan of using Docker vs. installing things directly into macOS simply to keep the system running as clean as possible.

Mark Shust is a fantastic resource that helped me immensely when I first started building out our sandboxes. The GitHub link also has a link to an M.Academy video set that is very helpful as well.

Hope this helps!

In terms of the database also, I have MySql 8.0.29 installed:

When I get to Step 7: Here we going to set up Magento 2. and try to run command

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.4.16/bin/php -dmemory_limit=5G /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/magento2/bin/magento setup:install –backend-frontname=”admin”  –db-host=”localhost”  –db-name=”magento”  –db-user=”root”  –db-password=”root”  –language=”en_US”  –currency=”USD”  –base-url=”http://localhost/dckap/”  –admin-user=”admin”  –admin-password=”root@123″  –admin-email=”siddharths@dckap.com”  –admin-firstname=”admin”  –admin-lastname=”user”
