Mysql setup
No worries, got it going with xampp!
If you are not familiar with configuring all that stuff I suggest you use a piece of software like this. You would be up and running in a minute
Try Mamp (Pro) server on your mac: mamp.info. It's a great & easy way to start. It has a webserver and a mysql server.
Make sure you create a hostname for your Fork installation (e.g. myforksite.localhost) inside Mamp Pro or with other tools or manually by creating a virtual host.
