Can't install laravel installer via composer on MAC (catalina)

Question

I am being asked to install PHP extension. I've used brew install php@7.3 it updated but has not satisfied the requirements. What do i need to do to satisfy the requirements?

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for laravel/installer ^2.2 -> satisfiable by laravel/installer[v2.2.0].
    - laravel/installer v2.2.0 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.

I've tried the suggestions in this post and it did not work for me.

Answer 1

I found this solution here .

"I solved this problem by first creating a new dir sbin in the local dir:

sudo mkdir sbin

then if you are like me using macOS highSierra 10+ you need to run:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)

after this

brew link php

"

Answer 2

brew install php It will install default utilities
