How to install PHP 7.4 on Apple M1?

Question

I have a Apple M1 arm64

I tried to install PHP 7.4 via brew

brew install php@7.4                                                                                                                             ✔  19:28:52 
Error: php@7.4 has been disabled because it is a versioned formula!

Then i tried with valet

valet use php@7.4                                                                                                                           ✔  4s  19:28:30

In Brew.php line 168:
                                         
  Brew was unable to install [php@7.4].  

Any ideas?

Answer 1

This worked for me:

brew install shivammathur/php/php@7.4

Answer 2

You can install it using:

brew install php@7.4-arm64

This will install the arm64 version of PHP 7.4 specifically for the Apple M1.
