Change mac os x default php version


In my mac (version 10.13.6 High Sierra) php -v output is PHP 7.1.32 . I need to update this 7.1 version to 7.3.

i tried to remove this version using brew unlink php7.1 but it's not worked.

How can i upgrade php version.


Solution

  • $ brew upgrade php : ( get the latest homebrew php packages )

    $ brew install php@7.4 : ( Install php 7.4 )

    $ brew link php@7.4 : ( create an alias to this keg-only version; see comments output during installation )

    $ echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile : ( Add the alias to your path; see comments output during installation )

    $ source ~/.bash_profile : ( Reload .bash_profile to use the new settings immediately )
