Homebrew PHP appears not to be linked. - Valet [duplicate]

Question

I had a problem which appeared all of the sudden saying: Unable to determine linked PHP. which I could not solve so I uninstalled valet, php and dependencies. Then I installed fresh php7.1 but when I run valet install I get quiet slightly similar error: Homebrew PHP appears not to be linked.

@ValentinKnyazev there is plenty of topics about question you posted. It is not my case – Stefaniastefanie

Homebrew can't find the correct PHP version, have you linked them up properly? brew link php71 – Jangro

@WouterVanDamme thank you. That was it. I tried it dozen times before but it did not have effect, now it did :D It was never needed to link it explicitly – Stefaniastefanie

@Paul Well the answer with big green check icon does:) – Stefaniastefanie

Answer 1

Homebrew can't find the correct PHP version, have you linked them up properly?

brew link php71

Jangro

Answer 2

First, find the PHP version installed via.

brew list

In my case it was [email protected], then

brew link [email protected] --force --overwrite

and finally

valet install

Answer 3

brew link [email protected] --force --overwrite

That will push this--

If you need to have this software first in your PATH instead consider running: echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

I ran both independently then tried valet install (worked like a charm).

Please, add an explanation. See how to answer. – Benzophenone

Answer 6

If you are coming here following a migration from Intel to M1 and having Valet not use the php cask from the /opt/ folder, this did the trick for me:

echo "export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc.
