Cannot install laravel with composer

Question

I try to use the following command on my macos terminal,

composer global require laravel/installer

And I get the following error,

  Problem 1
- laravel/installer v3.0.1 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
- laravel/installer v3.0.0 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
- Installation request for laravel/installer ^3.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/installer[v3.0.0, v3.0.1].

I have tried the following solution, but that doesn't work for me, Can't install laravel installer via composer
