Install Mcrypt on macOS

Raw

Install-Mcrypt.md

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
$ brew install mcrypt
$ pecl install mcrypt-1.0.3

Find your php.ini:

$ php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini

Add this line to your php.ini:

extension=/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.x/pecl/20180731/mcrypt.so

Historic Answer

Install Mcrypt using Homebrew

# PHP 7
$ brew install php70-mcrypt

# PHP 5
$ brew install php56-mcrypt --without-homebrew-php

Add this line to /private/etc/php.ini:

# PHP 7
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php70-mcrypt/7.0.x/mcrypt.so"

# PHP 5
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php56-mcrypt/5.6.x/mcrypt.so"

You are ready to go!

php 7.2

brew install mcrypt
pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1

Pecl installation failed. I see, that my directory links was broken.

in /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/7.2.15/share/[email protected]/pear/System.php:294 I so that it try to create /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/7.2.15/pecl . In the fact it's a broken link to /usr/local/lib/php/pecl. That directory was not created. If you have something like thiis, you need to create another link, like:

cd /usr/local/lib/php && ln -s 20170718 pecl

php 7.3

brew install mcrypt
pecl install mcrypt-1.0.3

lgelfan commented Oct 27, 2019

for php 7.2 on High Sierra, similar to above, this worked for me:

brew install mcrypt
$(brew --prefix [email protected])/bin/pecl install mcrypt

(you might need --force on the pecl install)

With macports:
sudo port install php71-mcrypt

and where is the mcrypt.so located after this?

yes, help us captain

subdesign commented Jan 12, 2021

If you use Laravel Valet, give a valet restart command after installing mcrypt so the system should recognise the lib.

Thanks @danmolina, worked!

Hi there! I solved this problem in Mac using Mojave. I had a Laravel mcrypt dependency. I did this:

brew install httpd

brew install [email protected]

edit the http.conf (after installation it will tell you where's localted) and add that php version.

In my case, I run it using the port 8080, so I configure it to be http://localhost:8080 that way I have both running (the default).
mcrypt will be included, however, I did too many changes to you may also need to install mcrypt by doing this:

Also just in case (because I did too many things)
If you still don't have mcrypt available, then:

Install pecl

sudo pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1

restart your brew apache using "sudo apachectl restart" and done!

pecl/mcrypt requires PHP (version >= 7.2.0, version <= 7.3.0, excluded versions: 7.3.0), installed version is 5.6.40
No valid packages found
install failed

above is my issue, it seems it no longer exist.

Try the following steps found here. I setup my PHP using brew tap shivammathur/php.

My PHP version 7.0 however in the link you can install other PHP versions.

brew tap shivammathur/extensions
brew install shivammathur/extensions/[email protected]

Happy coding!

I tried this for [email protected], but it's not clear what is the next step to get mcrypt working? I tried pecl install mcrypt <5.6 mcrypt dir> but didn't work? See below:

hi,bro
I have the same problem, and i resolved it...

1.brew tap shivammathur/extensions
2. brew search mcrypt(it will show "shivammathur/extensions/[email protected]" in the list)
3. brew install shivammathur/extensions/[email protected]

you will fine mcrypt.so in the "/usr/local/[email protected]/5.6.40"
