These packages from Ralf Krause are built using MAMP. It is almost trivial to install with a nice little control application. Also, they include all the CVS directories, and a special CVS update script, so it's easy to update your Moodle scripts without needing to download the whole package again and without reinstalling all your courses. Remember which version you need to download for your computer type. Moodle4Mac works with Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5. Some people told me to write that Moodle4Mac is designed for developing and testing locally on an Apple computer. You need to make it more secure if you will open Moodle4Mac for an intranet or for the internet.

For your better information you should look into the package documentation.

If you're looking for a Mac Server installation then you should read the step by step installation on a Mac OS X 10.5 Server.

Moodle4Mac 2.0 must have the PHP extensions xmlrpx and zip. Otherwise Moodle 2.0 would not run together with the web server MAMP 1.7.1. You need to download the new package once because you can't update Moodle4Mac 2.0 via CVS since August 1st, 2008. If you already use the new package your update script will do all the work perfectly. Sorry for this fact!
