Normal day with some guy that worked at the company. the guy was in his 11 month when this happened. and this was just one of so many wtf moments with him.

Me: hey man, you're gotta work with some frontend stuff, we need you to run mysql(for the backend) and apache. so install mamp, is super easy to get that working.

Me: please just donwload the pkg from this link and click `next` until finish.

Dude: okay, will do

-- some 10 minutes later. --

Dude: hey man I got a problem

Me: Whaaaat? you shouldn't, that shit never gives problem, everyone(literally) have that installed in their macs

Dude: it's true, I got an error, it says: `mamp it's not compatible with osx` ...

Me: oh man, that's so strange, mamp is likely made just for osx(and windows), and also we got all the macs with at least 1 version behind the latest osx. :(

Dude: it's true. I need help with that

-- now I go to the guy's mac and see the `error` message --

Me: hey, this says nothing like being uncompatible man, this CLEARLY says that can't be opened for *reads the error for him* . man, don't make things up, at least try to translate the error and give me the exact information of your `error`.

Dude: ...

Me: man please... I know you have your issues with the language, I do too, a LOT, but I use google translator if I can't read the shit. I can't sit here with you as your translator. -___-

    This has been bothering me a lot in later versions of MacOs, almost everything has to be manually allowed to install from the security menu.

    I know it serves as idiot proofing, but there are so many unsigned Dev tools it's just infuriating.

    Easy fix. *Grabs portable Unix like installation medium* *boots to desired distro* *Installs it* *boots again* *uses package manager* done. Can be simplified with use of scripts.

    Also Apache is already installed on MacOs you have to enable it and configure it, for me it's painful because it's not really in my job description but for someone who knows what they're doing it's way better than mamp.

    Installing GNU+Linux or BSD on a Apple device is like "I overpaid for this device because they definitely sold their Os to me but I don't want it", why did you buy a Mac?
    Also if it's company provided machine you might not have the right to do so.

    @p100sch would love to, but I can't. My boss doesn't let me

    @Hallelouia yup that's it. Company hardware. I kept pestering my boss over two months to give me a linux machine. Got a nuc since then

    @Hallelouia didn't know the Apache thing. Cool
