I'm attempting to put together a new laravel application and tried to run php artisan to get the list of commands and it says MCrypt extention required. I am running on OSX Mavericks and ran the mrypt installation from homebrew. So now I"m stuck trying to figure out what I need to do. I am trying to get it ready so I can start messing with Vagrant.

I did go through the commands here through terminal: 

brew install libjpeg
brew install pcre
brew install libxml2
brew install mcrypt

So now I'm trying to figure out why its not letting me run other commands and needing mycrpt enabled even though I already installed it.

I did the suggestions below and still when I try and run php artisan it says mycrypt php extention required.

Any ideas?

  • What exactly are you looking for? A list of mcrypt functions? http://php.net/manual/en/book.mcrypt.php – lxg Oct 10 '14 at 22:08

Assuming php 5.5:

brew install php55-mcrypt

If it doesn't find it:

brew tap josegonzalez/php
brew install php55-mcrypt

If it complains about not having zlib:

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap josegonzalez/php
brew install php55-mcrypt

If you're on a different version of php, just change the php55 to match (php 5.3? brew install php53-mcrypt)
