Magento2 no Admin directory on localhost created on install on iMac

I am trying to install Magento2.2 on my iMac. The Installer gets to Success - as per attached BUT the admin directory is not there!!

I have the correct version of php; Apache etc... and am installing the version for my imac.
I have tried loads of other suggestions on the web with git & composer but getting nowhere.

I've assumed it was a permissions problem so set all to 777 to avoid any directory creation issues in the script.
I've tried to work through the install scripts but cannot see where it is creating the admin directory anywhere!

Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome!

Further to above I THINK i and getting closer! it would seem I needed to amend my apache http.conf file to uncomment rewrite_module. This has got me to the Admin Signon page. I had already generated My Access Keys but when putting these in it complains that
"You did not sign in correctly or your account is temporarily disabled." Following this up with Magento.... I'll keep this open until it is solved...

Thanks

I avoid Magento like the plague + reading over their docs, it appears you may have to run Magento on a public IP for it to work.

Their authentication key system appears to keys to public IPs, so a check is made to verify a key goes with a specific IP.

This scheme will likely only work on a public IP + real DNS records + real SSL certs.

Best you open a ticket with Magento support + ask about your situation.

Likely they'll be able to provide you with a definitive answer, based on your setup + Magento version you're running.

Thanks.. I am now in...

I've set it up as a client was using it for their website and I was to have a look at amending stuff there... but confess I assumed this was just another Website Designer where as when I've got in there does not appear to be much functionality there at all!!
