install ext-zip for Mac

Question

I am trying to run composer update and I get the following errors:

Problem 1
    - The requested PHP extension ext-zip * is missing from your sy         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem after updating my Mac to Catalina. Here is what worked for me.

brew update
brew install php@7.3
brew link php@7.3

Then reload your console.

It will install php 7.3.10 with zip module. You can use php -v to check for the version, and php -m for the modules.
