This step-by-step tutorial covers everything from downloading the local server environment to logging in as an admin and exploring the new Moodle 5.1 interface. Install MAMP if you're a MAC user from here https://download.moodle.org/macosx/. Whether you are using a Mac or Windows, this guide helps you set up a risk-free environment to test plugins, change themes, and master Moodle site settings without paying for hosting.
