This method will not work on MacOS 10.5 due to problems with mysql. The in-built webserver in Tiger was a little trouble some too.
A method to quickly get things up and running would be to use a free, all in one, webserver packages such as MAMP or XAMPP.
1) Download MAMP (free) from, http://www.mamp.info/en/mamp.html .
2) Copy MAMP to your Applications folder,
3) Open the MAMP application (this starts the webserver software on your system),
4) Add a textpattern database using phpmyadmin (http://localhost:8888/MAMP/),
5) Download the latest version of Textpattern and place it in the htdocs folder inside the MAMP folder (rename the textpattern folder txp e.g. /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/txp)
6) Take your browser to the folder, http://localhost:8888/txp
7) Complete the installation of textpattern in the normal way
