MacOS Setup for PHP Dev

Spread the love

I wanted a simple, basic Mac OSX setup for PHP dev. With as little as possible manual work.

My current work as you from a previous post is:

  • Symfony 5
  • Api-Platform
  • VueJS front end

Mac OSX 10.15.5 comes with php 7.3.11 out of the box. That was high enough for my initial dev.

So here were my steps:

  1. Install composer getcomposer.org (command line)
  2. install node (npm), used the pkg from their website
  3. added yarn (command line)
  4. Installed Docker (from website)
  5. installed symfony (command line)

Done, I was now up and running. My previous mac had homebrew setup, with higher PHP version, so copying my projects over didn’t work immediately, I had to delete vendor folder and composer.lock and run composer install

DONE!
