When I do composer install on my homestead set up for a VM using laravel (on mac OSX Yosemite) I get the following error:
$ composer install
Warning: This development build of composer is over 30 days old. It is
recommended to update it by running "/usr/local/bin/composer self-update" to get the
latest version.

Mcrypt PHP extension required.
Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-install-cmd event returned

When I then run the command $ brew install php5-mcrypt. I get the following:
$ brew install php5-mcrypt
Error: No available formula for php5-mcrypt

How do I fix this and get php5-mcrypt installed?
