Here's an outline of the instructions for creating a local dev copy of our MODX installation:

####1. Package and download files from server You'll want to tar and gzip the files on the server for two reasons. First and foremost, it will be faster when you download the files via FTP. Downloading one 100mb file is significantly faster than downloading one hundred 1mb files. Secondly, we want to avoid the potential of messing with hidden files and permissions/ownership.

Use the tar command with gzip enabled: tar -czvf path_to_target path_to_source. For example, to package up the assets directory, you might run tar -czvf backup/assets.tar.gz assets/. This will package and compress the assets directory and save it as a .tar.gz file in the backup directory. You can then download that file via Transmit or another FTP client.

####2. Dump production database and import to local database Use Sequel Pro to export the production database and import it locally. You can name the local database whatever you'd

# 1. Start by ssh-ing into the server
ssh opportunity.org # or whatever server you need to access

# 2. Once in the server add a user with whatever username you'd like. You must use the sudo command unless you're logged in as root.
sudo adduser {username}
sudo adduser {username} sudo # to add user to sudo group

# 3. Change into the new users directory. /home contains all the users on the system.
cd /home/{username}

##Apache setup

Apache is included with OSX. The configuration files are found at /etc/apache2/. We'll be editing two files: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and /etc/apache2/extras/httpd-vhosts.conf.

####httpd.conf

First, we need to enable some modules. Uncomment (remove the #) the lines that contain #LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so and LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so.

Just a bit below that line, you'll see this:
