I'm trying to install a copy of a wordpress site on my localhost. I'm using Xampp. It is not working it is saying that : The deployment path must be writable by PHP in order to extract the archive file.

I don't know what to do to fix it, I'm on mac, thanks a lot

You need to change the folder permissions before you can use PHP to extract a zip file. Open the folder properties (CMD-ALT-I or whatever it is)

See XAMPP permissions on Mac OS X?

    You're welcome. It's the same on most hosting servers by the way, as OSX is unix based, and most hosting servers run on linux. – Ruben Vincenten Jun 19 '17 at 20:52
  • But on php now I have this message : PhpMyAdmin “Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!” – U. D. Jun 19 '17 at 20:59
  • Be careful! Only change the permission to the htdocs, because if you change all permission mysql won't work – U. D. Jun 27 '17 at 16:50
