Setup `php-mcrypt` on macOS (and versions of Mac OS X)

These steps should have been mentioned in the prerequisites of the Laravel Installation Guide, since I'm surely not the only person trying to get Laravel running on macOS.

Install

Install Mcrypt using Homebrew and PECL (comes with PHP)

# PHP 7.3

Because of GitHub's rate limits on their API it can happen that Composer prompts for authentication asking your username and password so it can go ahead with its work.

If you would prefer not to provide your GitHub credentials to Composer you can manually create a token using the following procedure:

Create an OAuth token on GitHub.

Add it to the configuration running composer config -g github-oauth.github.com <oauthtoken>

Now Composer should install/update without asking for authentication.

Include Weather Icons in your app: https://github.com/erikflowers/weather-icons
Include the below JSON in your application, for example purposes, lets assume it's a global named weatherIcons.
Make a request to OpenWeatherMap:

req = $.getJSON('http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London,uk&callback=?');

type below:

brew update
brew install redis

To have launchd start redis now and restart at login:

brew services start redis

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token for Private Composer Packages

If you're trying to load a private repository with Composer/Laravel, we'll need to generate a GitHub Personal Access Token (similar to OAuth token) to access the repository during a composer install without entering credentials.

If you have used other Github packages from {my-org} before, you may be able to skip this step.

Visit https://github.com/settings/tokens.
Click Generate new token.
