Hey @HuwRowlands

This is because your MacOS version is below our minimum requirements for Local (for the latest releases we requirement 12 or higher). You can try creating a site with PHP version 7.3/7.4, which might work. Otherwise, you’ll have to use an older version of Local from our releases page.
