Laravel Valet Setup (Mac)

This will get you setup with Laravel & Valet on your Mac. Quentin Watt has a good video tutorial on getting setup here as well

Install Homebrew

Go to https://brew.sh/ and copy the command and run in your terminal

It will be something like this...

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Then update

brew update

Install PHP

brew install php

Install composer (PHP Dependency Manager)

brew install composer

Put Composer in your $PATH

Run the following and see if it says "composer" anywhere

echo $PATH

If not, you have to add it to your path

Open your .zshrc (This command will open it with VS Code but you can open with any text editor)

code ~/.zshrc

Add this line and save

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin

• NOTE: If you are using bash instead of zsh, you need to edit ~/bashrc instead of ~/zshrc

• Restart your terminal and run this again and you should see "composer"

echo $PATH

Install Valet with Composer

composer global require laravel/valet

Run valet install

valet install

Install Laravel Installer

composer global require laravel/installer

Create a Laravel Project

Make sure you go to where you want to create your project folder

laravel new PROJECT_NAME

Tell Valet to use the current folder for Laravel projects

valet park

Open your project

Go to your browser and type http://PROJECT_FOLDER.test

To see all parked projects

valet parked

To rename your TLD from .test to something else, such as .dev

valet tld dev

valet is not installing... what to do?

Currently I'm using linux... so is there any solution?

Try restarting your terminal. That should work

For valet command not found do this:

valet link && valet secure. This will create a TLD domain for you to access WordPress and to do so via https://.

valet link --secure

Can be a shorthand for link and secure in 1 line.

after adding composer to the PATH (open ~/.zshrc > add the commande: export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" )then try the commands:

• composer global require laravel/valet command -v valet
• ln -s ~/.composer/vendor/bin/valet /usr/local/bin/valet
• valet install
• composer global update

What does: echo $SHELL give you?

Try other text editor like vim like "vim ~/.zshrc" and add the path. Hope this helps.

• Launch VS Code
• Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and type 'shell command' to find the Shell Command:
  Install 'code' command in PATH command.

Stuck at installing composer. "composer" didn't show up in the result when I tried echo $PATH. I edited the .bashrc file with the line provided, then closed my terminal and restarted it. The echo command still shows the same result. No composer to be found.

Where it says " Add this line and save", really means, "replace the content"

You can try using in this way
~/.composer/vendor/bin/valet install
This worked me
I got this answer through this thread -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37085102/laravel-valet-install-not-found

Hi, I see errors after installing a valet and my project is not available. I tried to reinstall valet with no luck.

Any ideas?

in case error command valet.

Solution:

In 2019, Apple made the switch from bash to zsh as the default shell in macOS Catalina and subsequent versions. To switch to the zsh shell, you can use the following command:

echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin" >> ~/.zshrc

Following the steps after i do laravel new PROJECT_NAME, getting error:

Uncaught TypeError: in_array(): Argument #2 ($haystack) must be of type array, null given in /.composer/vendor/laravel/installer/src/NewCommand.php:818
