Valet+ is a development environment for macOS. No Vagrant, no Docker, no /etc/hosts
file. This project uses
laravel/valet as a dependency.
⚠️ 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.
⚠️ Valet+ requires Composer to be installed.
To get started, you first need to ensure that Homebrew is up-to-date using the update command:
brew update
Next, you should use Homebrew to install PHP 8.1 (using shivammathur/php
):
brew tap shivammathur/php
brew install shivammathur/php/php@8.1
brew link php@8.1 --force
brew services restart php@8.1
Install Valet+ 3.x-dev with composer:
composer global require weprovide/valet-plus:3.x-dev
Finally, you may execute the Valet+ install
command. This will configure and install Valet+, Nginx, DnsMasq and other
services. In addition, use --help
to see all installation options.
valet-plus install
The daemons Valet+ depends on will be configured to launch when your system starts. Once Valet+ is installed, try pinging
any *.test
domain on your terminal using a command such as ping foobar.test
. If Valet+ is installed correctly you
should see this domain responding on 127.0.0.1
.
Here are a few key differences compared to the original Valet:
- Nginx config optimization
- PHP extensions (
mcrypt,intl,opcache, yaml, apcu, ds, imagick) - MySQL (mysql@5.7, mysql@8.0, mysql@8.1, mariadb)
- DB commands (list, create, drop, reset, (re)import, export,
open)
- DB commands (list, create, drop, reset, (re)import, export,
