Hi, Discourse looks like a great solution for my website, and I would like to test the Discourse plugin for Wordpress (to replace the comment system). However, I’m not sure how to run/install it to work with my local MAMP Wordpress site.

What would be the best way to get this up and running locally (with Wordpress via MAMP on MacOs)?

Thanks!

Have a look at [https://kitematic.com/](https://kitematic.com/) which makes it easy to run and manage docker containers locally on MacOS and Windows. After installing it on your Mac do a search for discourse and create a new container, you should then be able to hook up your Wordpress on MAMP with Discourse easily enough, it’s pretty straightforward.

See also: [Install Discourse on macOS for development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-macos-for-development/15772) which lets you install Discourse on a Mac for development (easier to add/remove plugins). The server will run at port 3000, which shouldn’t interfere with MAMP.
