Mac OS X¶

OS X 15.2 (Sequoia) and newer ships with PHP pre-installed. Recent versions of OS X include PHP 8.x. On the other hand, MySQL can be installed using the official package.

However, we encourage you to use homebrew, an open source package manager for OS X that will make the installation of the dependencies and its maintenance much easier. Installing homebrew is easy:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)"

More instructions can be found at: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Installation

Once homebrew is installed, you are ready to install all the packages needed:

brew install php --with-mysql --with-fpm
brew install nginx
brew install elasticsearch
brew install mysql

Some extra dependencies can be also be installed via homebrew:

brew install ffmpeg
brew install imagemagick
