    First install Brew on your MAC

Setup Brew: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew update
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/php
Install PHP 7.0.+ brew install php70
Install mcrypt: brew install mcrypt php70-mcrypt
Finally, install composer: brew install composer

Now if you run $ php -v, you will get PHP 5.5 or something.
This is the default PHP version that is shipped with OSX and cannot be removed.
You just need to edit your path to ensure that PHP 7.0 is picked up.
export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php70)/bin:$PATH"
To debug any issue with any package, you can run brew info php70 etc.
Also, if you are getting seemingly unrelated errors, make sure to update bash/zsh: brew upgrade bash and brew upgrade zsh.
If everything is setup correctly, running $ php -v should give you 7.0.+.
