Why would anyone not want to install PHP 7 if they were installing it for the first time? The speed increase alone makes it preferable.

@JohnnyWalkerDesign .. you may be on a work machine working on a legacy app that is running on an older version.

Always good use Bash's && command.

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" && brew update && brew tap homebrew/dupes && brew tap homebrew/php && brew install php71 && brew install composer && composer -V

I see this warning, is it ok?

Warning: homebrew/dupes was deprecated. This tap is now empty as all its formulae were migrated.

This Worked for me 😇
You need to edit bash_profile

  1. nano ~/.bash_profile
  2. Copy/paste export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
  3. Then run source ~/.bash_profile

should the composer be installed in the project folder or the server folder.
for example, if I am using WAMP64 as a local host inside the www folder of I have my project should I install it in the WAMP64 folder or the project folder like perfect cup
