MAMP PRO DRUPAL CACHE HOW TO
There’s an excellent tutorial here by on how to install Homebrew Composer and Drush on your Mac or for Windows.

This was installed using Composer, but as I mentioned you’ll need to install Composer manually if you’re going to use MAMP. Another nice thing with MAMP is it very easily allows you to update your php.ini files, set up op cache which is always an error when installing drupal when it’s not present, and the interface just gives you a lot of tools to work with right out of the box. You can have SSL certificates, you can create as many databases as you need, and you can even provide a public url or transfer the site to the cloud. Composer and Drush both need to be added manually, but there is excellent documentation on doing just that. The difference here is that you won’t get some of the tools that DevDesktop gives you built in. Adding a new site is as simple as clicking the plus icon just like in DevDesktop. If you prefer to have a graphical user interface,also known as a GUI, then MAMP is the one you want to go with. Here’s what MAMP PRO looks like when it’s up and running.

The first option, MAMP PRO, offers a lot more flexibility, but it’s $89 USD, and an upgrade from any previous version is $39.50.
