myTinyTodo is an open-source and minimalist to-do list manager that can be installed on various platforms, including macOS. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install myTinyTodo on macOS:
Before starting with the installation process, you need to have the following software installed:
First, visit the myTinyTodo website at https://www.mytinytodo.net/ and download the latest version of myTinyTodo.
Extract the downloaded file into a directory of your choice.
Start MAMP and ensure that the Apache and MySQL servers are running.
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8888/phpmyadmin.
Click on the “New” button to create a new database.
Enter a name for the database and set the “Collation” to “utf8_general_ci”. Click on the “Create” button to create the database.
Open the extracted myTinyTodo directory and find the “config.php.dist” file. Rename it to “config.php”.
Open the “config.php” file using a text editor and locate the following lines:
define("DB_HOST", "localhost");
define("DB_NAME", "mytinytodo");
define("DB_USER", "root");
define("DB_PASS", "root");
Replace the values of DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASS according to your MAMP settings.
Save the changes made to “config.php”.
Copy the entire myTinyTodo directory to the “htdocs” directory of MAMP. The default path for the “htdocs” directory is /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/.
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8888/myTinyTodo. You should see the myTinyTodo interface.
Create a new user account by clicking on the “Signup” link and following the on-screen instructions.
