'Wordpress asking for FTP credentials when trying to install a theme
Before I get started, I'd like to say that I tried almost every solution I could find for this problem but had no luck with them. The most popular solution was adding define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' ); to the wp-config.php file but that didn't work either :(
Both, my co-worker and I installed WordPress at the same time, she's getting nothing like this, maybe cuz she is using a windows machine and I'm using a Mac? And also, I'm using Xaamp. I'm really new to all so any kind of feedback is appreciated! :)

There are a number of different solutions you can try which may resemble your issue with relation to MacOSX.

I'm too new to post here: WordPress asking for my FTP credentials to install plugins
The solution to this problem for me was my php-fpm configuration. I had the php-fpm user and group set to "www-data" (nginx user) at /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/user1.conf. I changed both the user and group in the php-fpm configuration to the linux user I created (i.e. /home/user1/) for this app.
I hope this helps someone because it was not listed in the most popular topics in stack.
