Setup PHP and Composer on OSX via Brew
First install Brew on your MAC
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew update
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/php
brew install php70
mcrypt
: brew install mcrypt php70-mcrypt
brew install composer
Now if you run $ php -v
, you will get PHP 5.5
or something.
This is the default PHP version that is shipped with OSX and cannot be removed.
You just need to edit your path to ensure that PHP 7.0
is picked up.
export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php70)/bin:$PATH"
To debug any issue with any package, you can run brew info php70
etc.
Also, if you are getting seemingly unrelated errors, make sure to update bash/zsh: brew upgrade bash
and brew upgrade zsh
.
If everything is setup correctly, running $ php -v
should give you 7.0.+.
