Each installer includes all of the software necessary to run out of the box, and it’s also completely self contained. Bitnami provides pre-packaged images for automated setup of popular server software on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms. Needless to say, there’s a better way: a Bitnami native installer.

There are files to download and copy, configuration settings to be adjusted, and various other hoops to jump through before you can actually get some productive work in. If you’ve ever tried installing a server application (like WordPress) or a development environment (like an Apache/PHP/MySQL environment), you already know that it’s a lot harder than it seems at first glance.
