+First, Lets find out what version of PHP we're running (To find out if it's the default version).
+
+To do that, Withing the terminal, Fire this command:
+
+    which php
+
+This should output the path to the default PHP install which comes preinstalled by Mac OS X, by default it has to be (Assuming you've not changed it before):
+
+    /usr/bin/php
+
+Now, We just need to swap this over to the PHP that is installed with MAMP, which is located at `/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin` (MAMP 2.1.3)
+
+To do this, We need to edit the `.bash_profile` and add the MAMP version of PHP to the PATH variable.
+
+####Follow these simple steps:
+---
+1. Within the Terminal, run `vim ~/.bash_profile`
+
+2. Type `i` and then paste the following at the top of the file:
+
+        export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin:$PATH
+
+3. Hit `ESC`, Type `:wq`, and hit `Enter`
+
