download file for installing here: http://www.libssh2.org/download/
get the new version and chagne the file name in the installer to match
also get the new version of this file ssh2-0.12.tgz here https://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2
in mamp go to file -> edit template -> php -> then your version -> add this text to the bottom of the file "extension=ssh2.so"
_________________________________________________________
the regular ./configure would not work so i added the prefix which makes the configure compile using the php version in mamp.
