Installation

⚠️ Valet+ requires macOS and Homebrew. Before installation, you should make sure that no other programs such as Apache or Nginx are binding to your local machine's port 80.

If you have valet or valet+ installed. It is recommended to remove it first: composer remove weprovide/valet-plus && rm -rf ~/.valet && rm -rf /usr/local/bin/valet

1. Install or update Homebrew to the latest version using brew update.
2. Add the Homebrew PHP tap for Valet+ via brew tap henkrehorst/php.
3. Install PHP 7.4 using Homebrew via brew install valet-php@7.4.
4. Install Composer using Homebrew via brew install composer.
5. Install Valet+ with Composer via composer global require marcofaul/valet-plus-reforged.
6. Add export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin" to .bash_profile (for bash) or .zshrc (for zsh) depending on your shell (echo $SHELL)
7. Run the valet fix command. This will check for common issues preventing Valet+ from installing.
8. Run the valet install command. Optionally add --with-mariadb to use MariaDB instead of MySQL This will configure and install Valet+ and DnsMasq, and register Valet's daemon to launch when your system starts.
9. Once Valet+ is installed, try pinging (or just visit http://foobar.test any *.test domain on your terminal using a command such as ping -c1 foobar.test. If Valet+ is installed correctly you should see this domain responding on 127.0.0.1. If not you might have to restart your system. Especially when coming from the Dinghy (docker) solution.

ℹ️ If you get something like "Site can't be reached." Try to change the domain like so valet domain host
