How to Install Laravel on Mac OSX

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

OSX JAVA_HOME openjdk-11.0.2.jdk Error Requirements check failed for JDK 1.8 or greater

1.Remove all the Java related packages (Sun, Oracle, OpenJDK, IcedTea plugins, GIJ):

dpkg-query -W -f='${binary:Package}\n' | grep -E -e '^(ia32-)?(sun|oracle)-java' -e '^openjdk-' -e '^icedtea' -e '^(default|gcj)-j(re|dk)' -e '^gcj-(.*)-j(re|dk)' -e '^java-common' | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove sudo apt-get -y autoremove

2.Purge config files (careful. This command removed libsgutils2-2 and virtualbox config files too):

dpkg -l | grep ^rc | awk '{print($2)}' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
3.Remove Java config and cache directory:

sudo bash -c 'ls -d /home/*/.java' | xargs sudo rm -rf

4.Remove manually installed JVMs:

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/*

5.Remove Java entries, if there is still any, from the alternatives:

for g in ControlPanel java java_vm javaws jcontrol jexec keytool mozilla-javaplugin.so orbd pack200 policytool rmid rmiregistry servertool tnameserv unpack200 appletviewer apt extcheck HtmlConverter idlj jar jarsigner javac javadoc javah javap jconsole jdb jhat jinfo jmap jps jrunscript jsadebugd jstack jstat jstatd native2ascii rmic schemagen serialver wsgen wsimport xjc xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so;

do sudo update-alternatives --remove-all $g; done

6.Search for possible remaining Java directories:

sudo updatedb sudo locate -b '\pack200'

7.Install JAVA-8-SDK

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

8.Open

sudo gedit ~/.bashrc export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/yourAndroidStudioPath/Android export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle export JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre



Try to run your ionic app again :) Njoy!
