I can't install laravel on mac

Question

This is my error, I found it on google, and I don't know where is the error. I have MAMP PRO with php 5.4.4 version

Loading composer repositories with package information Installing dependencies (including require-dev) Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1 - laravel/framework v4.2.4 requires php >=5.4.0 -> no matching package found. - laravel/framework v4.2.3 requires php >=5.4.0 -> no matching package found. - laravel/framework v4.2.2 requires php >=5.4.0 -> no matching package found. - laravel/framework v4.2.1 requires php >=5.4.0 -> no matching package found. - laravel/framework v4.2.0 requires php >=5.4.0 -> no matching package found. - Installation request for laravel/framework 4.2.* -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v4.2.0, v4.2.1, v4.2.2, v4.2.3, v4.2.4].

Potential causes: - A typo in the package name - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting see https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion for more details.

OS X is pre-installed with its own PHP, and it's probably older than 5.4 that Laravel 4.2 requires. And when you do php in your terminal, you'll probably get your OSX's php. Try it with php -v

You'll need to make your MAMP PRO's php your default binary, as suggested in change the PHP path to MAMPs PHP Try:

export PATH=/Applications/MAMPPRO/php5.4.4/bin:$PATH

This will only work up until you close your terminal. To make the change permanent, add the line above to your ~/.bash_profile

Then you check again by typing which php to your terminal. It should now point to your MAMP PRO's PHP binary.

@Luiggi what does it say when you do `which php` and `php -v`? – Unnawut Jun 19 '14 at 18:35
php -v:PHP 5.3.15 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Aug 24 2012 17:45:44) Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies – Luiggi Jun 19 '14 at 18:47
php --> it's waiting too time – Luiggi Jun 19 '14 at 18:47
This solution does work indeed. Luiggi, i guess you just misspelled something there in your path entry. – CodeTwice Jul 16 '14 at 08:02

Alternatively, if you are comfortable with the terminal, installing Apache & PHP, you can use MacPorts to install any version of PHP >= 5.4.

MacPorts

You can set up a virtualbox with debian.
