Update Laravel Valet After PHP Upgrade
April 3, 2020 by Areg Sarkissian
Use Homebrew MacOS package manager to upgrade the default php version to the latest php version.
First update homebrew to latest version
brew update
Then upgrade PHP to the latest version
brew upgrade php
Source the bash profile to make sure path to latest PHP version is set
source ~/.profile
Next update composer
composer global update
Now update valet by installing it again
valet install
Finally tell valet to use the latest upgraded php
valet use php
Now we can go into the directory that hosts our Laravel project directories and run valet park to re-register our sites and we can verify that the ~/.config/valet/config.json file lists the directory that hosts the Laravel projects.
Link projects:
valet park
List all linked projects:
valet links
