1. Install the Apache2, Subversion and libapache2-svn.

Moreover, MAMP package also bundled with some other useful programs as well as libraries such as phpMyAdmin and the PHP GD library. For more information, you can refer to the MAMP website.
During the installation, you can include the MAMP control panel into you Mac Dashboard. This is quite helpful for you to start and stop the server. you can also pick either PHP4 or PHP5 by switching to the back panel by clicking the i button which is located under the Apache label on the front panel.
