Install.php deleted automatically?

[Russell]

Simple question. At the end of installation, the instructions recommend deleting install.php. I'm assuming the instructions are incorrect and somewhere along the line the file is being automatically, as I can't find it in my install directory once installation is completed.

Just want to be sure nothing is going wrong.

Thanks. Russell.

Check your root directory for the install.php. It is not in the install directory.

I checked everything from the site root down and couldn't find it. I did delete the install directory, but as the instructions listed install.php first, I did assume it wasn't in that directory. This is using MAMP in OSX, but I didn't think that should make any difference.

I guess PW removes it if it can. If the file exists, PW will throw a warning each time you log in (as a superuser at least).

That's correct, PW will delete install.php if it can. I'm also in MAMP, and install.php gets deleted for me after installing.

Ryan you said that you are on MAMP, could this make a difference in whether or not processwire deletes the install files? I tried setting the permission to 777 on a Ubuntu 12.04 machine, but did not delete when the installer was supposed to. So I am curious if the machine makes a difference. 

--edit--

As per a brainwave I tried chown www-data and that did not solve the issue.
