"Standalone" installation versus installing the components on my local machine
April 21, 2011, 09:30:49 am
I am trying to do a CiviCRM install on my Mac (10.6.7) to test some things before I mess up any servers and am trying to understand the difference between a "Standalone" installation versus installing the necessary components on my local machine. What are the differences, virtues and vices? I presumedI can just "serve" it to myself, right?

Thanks,
Tim

I am blogging my CiviCRM experience at civicrm.org/blogs/twojtyniak if you want more background on my question.

I have no experience with the "standalone" version, but my understanding is that was a version that would run without a CMS (drupal or joomla).

You can still set up civiCRM to run on your mac, you just need to do so along with a CMS.  The place to start is MAMP which sets up apache, mySQL and PHP on your mac:  http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html

After that, the instructions are the same for your new local server as for a remote public server.

Hope this helps.

The "standalone" version is no longer an option. You need to decide which CMS u will use: drupal or joomla and then download and install civicrm for that CMS
