Installing WordPress on Mac

I am trying to run WordPress on my Macbook Pro from the link above. I have followed the instructions, but one part I don’t understand:

`Step 4: Downloading and Installing WordPress
Now it’s time to download WordPress. Once you’ve downloaded and unzipped the WordPress download, open up the “wordpress” folder. Click and drag all of the files from the wordpress folder to your MAMP document root (I use /Users/USERNAME/Sites/wordpress/).

Others with the default MAMP install should rename and drag the folder to the htdocs folder, located under /Applications/MAMP. Then in the browser, go to localhost:port/folder_renamed to run the install. For example, in the default MAMP install, if the folder was renamed wordpresstest, go to localhost:8888/wordpresstest.

First it says to drag the downloaded WordPress files to the wordpress folder in Sites. Then “Others????” are supposed to rename and drag something to htdocs (in the MAMP folder). Nothing in the examples was named wordpresstest. So I don’t know what files go where in this setup.
Can someone clarify?
Thanks- Dave
