If you're facing this issue with macOS Catalina, I recommend these steps:
[PS: do not waste your time installing apt-get or yum ]
-- Just Install Homebrew (if you haven't already done so): head over to brew.sh or simply run this command: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
-- Run brew install php@7.3
Update your $PATH variable to include the newly installed version of php:
>>> echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.3/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
-- Also --
>>>>>> echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.3/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
-- Reload your shell preferences script $ source ~/.zshrc or source ~/.bashrc
Finally, install laravel: composer global require laravel/installer
