Herd only includes the extensions that are listed at the FAQs at https://herd.laravel.com/ at the moment but you can install others with the process described in the docs: https://herd.laravel.com/docs/1/advanced-usage/additional-extensions

@sschlein xsl can't be install via pecl

pecl install xsl prompt

No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/xsl"
install failed

[ElRochito]

@sschlein any ideas to install it other than pecl ?

[zupolgec]

There are various extensions that can't be installed with PECL. Any other solution? Thanks!

@ElRochito @zupolgec Found any solutions? I'm also finding how to install xsl extension

Nope. Only solution at the moment is to go back to Homebrew PHP

@zupolgec I downloaded extension manually from here - https://packages.macports.org/php81-xsl/ and then found .so file in it, added into php.ini and it fixed the issue for me

I found this thread some time earlier. New computer, same problem :-)

I downloaded the corresponding xsl.so file and saved it in:

/Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/Herd/config/php/81

Then added the following line to the PHP file in the same directory:

extension=/Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/Herd/config/php/81/xsl.so

After running php -v, I had to authorize the xsl.so file in OSX system settings, like any other unverified application.

Hopefully I won't need to find this thread again, but the above might help someone else.

Well, I tried to do the same but I'm getting this error after loading the xsl.so:

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/Users/username/.extensions/php/83/xsl.so' (tried: /Users/username/.extensions/php/83/xsl.so (dlopen(/Users/username/.extensions/php/83/xsl.so, 0x0009): Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libexslt.0.dylib

Any ideas what that could be? Already installed libxml2 and libxslt via homebrew to no avail.

[marlonbasten]

Ok, I fixed it (for me at least).

This solved it for me:

brew install libxml2 libxslt
sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/lib
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/libxslt/lib/libexslt.0.dylib /opt/local/lib/
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/libxslt/lib/libxslt.1.dylib /opt/local/lib/
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/libxml2/lib/libxml2.2.dylib /opt/local/lib/

@marlonbasten Nice, this looks like a much nicer solution than mine :-) I'll give it a try!
