Live site zip file, to set up local env

[Cinthia]

Hi , 

I'm 100% new to ProcessWire. I have been given a zip file that was extracted from live site . 

I need to set this is up on my local environment. I am using MAMP Pro. 

I don't expect to have my hand held through this process, if someone could just give me some direction I would really appreciate this. 

I read Oven.php

I'm wondering, which folder i need to point MAMP Pro to. Ive tried a couple, like <site> <site/config.php> <site/app/config/database.php>, idk what else to try 

Is there an article out there someone could share, that talks about setting up local environment using live site files ?

i forgot to mention, site was also built using CakePHP

disregard 'i read Oven.php'
