They're very popular due to their ease 13 of use and graphical user interfaces (GUI). 14 15 Otto brings the same ease of use for PHP development environments. 16 Otto is a single binary that will automatically install anything else 17 needed to develop for PHP, including databases, web servers, and more. 18 19 Unlike MAMP and XAMPP, Otto does not have a GUI. 20 21 However, Otto is able to bring the ease of use of a single installer 22 for PHP to other languages as well. For Ruby, Node.JS, and more, Otto 23 is a just a single command away from building a fully capable 24 development environment.
