title: How to set permissions of certain folders to 777 on Mac
body: <p>I need to set the permissions of just 3 specific folders (on my Mac) to 777
  I went to CMND+i (get info) but the folder permissions seemed to be Read and Write - but this didn't seem to fix it.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to work out how to do this, because I am using MAMP on my Mac to try and run a localhost server to test a website. Reason; I am trying to run the script of a PHP website. It is asking me to change the permissions of certain folders in order to proceed with the 'install'.</p>
  
  <p>I think the closest match to a possible answer is here:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21575919/java-create-a-new-dir-with-777-permissions-on-mac">Java: Create a new dir with 777 permissions on Mac</a></p>
  
  <p>But, this appears to be Java. I assume that I need to be able to do this via either MAMP or Terminal. If anyone could please advise me which program/tool to use and what to type in, I'd be very grateful.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
