How to create a local development environment for an existing Wordpress?

I need to set up a development environment for an existing wordpress website.

What I need to do is to somehow mirror the existing website so I can make changes to it before it goes online.

What is the best practice? I need to have exactly the same plugins and theme on it, as well its content. I was thinking that I could use MAMP for it.

Thanks in advance!
