do I need to install MAMP on the MAC to run a local web server / be able to develop sites locally?
Or can I install everything manually? I went through Homebrew and it has MySQL, Apache and PHP. So the question is, can I install and run it manually without installing the mamp? Even if it were 'more complicated'?My primary goal is to learn, so I don't like installing a package (mamp) that seems to solve everything for me.
You don't need mamp. All those packages are independent programs that can be installed and configured separately and on their own as you wish.
I ran all those on FreeBSD in the same way you are wanting

Background
I have been playing around with Scenic to make a desktop app across multiple environments. While the Install dependencies for Ubuntu are outdated and don;t work for the latest LTS (v20) I was still able to figure out the packages and install it on Ubuntu Linux.
However ... there is nothing for Windows.
Questions
Does Scenic even work on Windows?
If so, what are the dependencies? What need I to install?
Answer
Unfortunately, Scenic does not run on Windows, nor can it support it.
At the time of writing of this post, I am also unaware of any plans to make it work on a Windows system.
The confirmation came from an official collaborator from the Scenic project:

I am currently running a 5.x version of XAMPP on a Windows 10 box, which has been working really well.
However I think it is time I look at upgrading to version 7.x to test my sites before I get my production VPS server to run php 7 etc
Can I install the new version in a separate directory (e.g. xampp7) and choose what xampp to run as needed via its control panel? Will each install know what version of php etc to load and use while that version is operating?
I have not tested this yet, I didn't want to risk stuffing up my existing install :)
Cheers
I Currently have projects I'm working on using MAMP. But, I wanted to try out laravel, and I did so by installing virtual box, and then installing homestead through the virtual box. I have projects I am currently working on in MAMP, so my concern is will I be able to run homestead and MAMP simultaneously.
...will that affect my existing MAMP Installation?
No it won't. That is one the main points (having an independent from your local machine's environment) of using a vm (homestead).
...will I be able to run homestead and MAMP simultaneously
Yes, you can run them simultaneously.
I need to do a installation of windows updates (OS and Microsoft Security Essentials) on multiple clients using Cent-OS Server. I'm not very familiar with Linux systems and I cant find an appropriate tutorial On the internet.
Give OPSI a try, this is an OpenSource Deployment Solution which works on CentOS:
http://www.opsi.org/
This is an integrated system to deploy full installation as well as simple updates or rollouts.
yum installs RedHat/CentOS/Fedora RPM packages on RedHat/CentOS/Fedora systems. It doesn't have anything to do with Windows. It doesn't understand exe files or anything like that.
I'm not even sure where to begin to understand what the question you are actually trying to ask is... unless your question is really just as confused as it sounds and you are failing to understand the difference between package managed linux systems and Windows systems.
I installed ruby 1.9.1 from source on cygwin about 9 months ago. I did a default install i.e make, make test, make install which installed it in /usr/local. I am now trying to install 1.92. After building and installing it using the same steps, I found the gems I had installed stopped working. I though this might happen so I made a back up first and was unable to recover. Is there a way to install it without disturbing the previously installed libriaries or should I just bite the bullet and re-install them? I am also begining to think that installing it in the default location might not have been a good idea as it would be hard to tell what files are ruby and what are not if other things were also installed in this location also. I am guessing there is no such thing as make uninstall?
I know this may not be the answer you're looking for, but I highly recommend you take a look at pik, which is a Ruby version manager that works on Windows.
It's similar to rvm, which is the de-facto way to install and manage Rubies on Mac OS and *nix.
