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 problems with python symlink during the brew install php.

/usr/local/Frameworks didn't exist so I had to create it: sudo mkdir /usr/local/Frameworks

cd /usr/local/

Then I had to chown it: sudo chown -R myuser:admin Frameworks

I based the permission settings on the rest of the folders in /usr/local.

Then I could run brew link python. Then I ran brew install php again and it completed.

php -v now gives me php 7.3.10 , before it was php 7.3.18 I think.
