Installation and server related problems

I'm am having an issue whereby installing H5P on my localhost (MAMP on MacBook Pro) doesn't work. It stalls at "Validating mod_hvp..." I've tried both the manual install and the automatic install methods. Browsing through the forums I coudn't find a solution that works. All my environment components are up to date (PHP 7.2.10, MySQL 5.7.23, Moodle 3.8) and I am using the latest version of H5P found on the moodle plugins database. I have changed the settings of both upload_max_filesize and post_max_size within the php.ini file to 128M. All my folder permissions are set to Read & Write.  I have also redownloaded the file a few times and tried install again as others have suggested, with no luck. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sylvio,

Can you check the if you have any PHP errors. Also please turn on Moodle's debug mode so that we can get a better picture of what may be causing the issue.

Thank you for your reply! After following your advice, I was getting a message "Fatal error:  Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded". So I googled and followed common instructions to go into the php.ini file and changed the max_execution_time from 30 to 160 and it worked just fine after that. 
I am quite new with LMS and dealing with code and all that. So I appreciate that such forums exist. Thank you once again!
