Re: Taking Buddypress Offline onto a USB.
MAMP is needed if you’re using a Mac 
I would use a WAMP package unless your professor has a Mac, but yes, it is completely possible to have BuddyPress run locally off a USB stick.
First, you’d need to find a MAMP / WAMP / LAMP package that is portable.
Some portable WAMP packages can be found here:

Once you have your WAMP server up, you’ll need to install WordPress / BuddyPress. Then, you’ll need to copy your theme files over as well as importing a database dump of your existing BP site.
