Answers.Body: <p>Incase helps any other designer come devs who haven't a full grasp on dev/CL workflow, these steps worked for me – with thanks to craft support/community:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>in terminal, run exactly this: <code>PATH="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.15/bin:$PATH"</code></li>
  <li><code>composer create-project craftcms/craft PATH -s beta --ignore-platform-reqs</code>
  PATH being your absolute path to your project (I crudely type in terminal, 
  <code>cd</code> 
  then drag the folder into terminal to get that path).
  Note: I seem to have to go through #1 each time I install Craft3 via composer else I get an error.
  Note: in #1 the php version needs to match what you are using (needs to be 7+ I believe).</li>

Answers.Text: Note: Make sure to substitute into the above command the PHP version that MAMP is actually implementing. It may differ from 7.0.15. I'm also a bit mystified as to why I have to implement this command on every Craft 3 installation. Would think that adding the php version to the path would stick.

  Incase helps any other designer come devs who haven't a full grasp on dev/CL workflow, these steps worked for me – with thanks to craft support/community:
  
  1. in terminal, run exactly this: `PATH="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.15/bin:$PATH"`
  2. `composer create-project craftcms/craft PATH -s beta --ignore-platform-reqs`
     PATH being your absolute path to your project (I crudely type in terminal,
     `cd`
     then drag the folder into terminal to get that path).
