It looks like I am missing the libzip distribution but I can't find info on how to fix this issue. I need the zip extension to install a Statamic addon. I am not sure where to go from here.... any help appreciated.

Answer 1

First sorry for my English, I am Brazilian and I have no practice in writing.

I have MAMP PRO installed on version 5.5.1 with PHP 7.2.21 I checked the "Make this version available on the command line" option.

At the command line I went to the folder
"/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.21/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20170718/"
and ran the command pecl install zip and the installation was successful.

I edited the php.ini file via Mamp PRO and enabled the extension:
extension=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.21/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20170718/zip.so

I disabled the XDebug extension.

I restarted the MAMP service.

Checking PHP version: At the command prompt I ran php -v

PHP 7.2.21 (cli) (built: Aug 14 2019 16:40:59) (NTS) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies

Checking ZIP Library Version php --re zip | grep zip Extension [ extension # 47 zip version 1.15.4] {

When executing command laravel new <name> the zip library error continued.

Error
The Zip PHP extension is not installed. Please install it and try again.

To solve I forced the version of PHP executed by the laravel command

vim ~/.composer/vendor/laravel/installer/laravel

I changed the first line from #!/usr/bin/env php to #./usr/bin/env /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.21/bin/php

This worked well here.

I hope it helped you.
