[support_tony]

I need to install lavarel using local. Unfortunately it requires php 8.1. How can I upgrade to this version?

System Details

  • For example: macOS Catalina or Windows 10 Professional

• Attach the Local Log. See this Help Doc for instructions on how to do so:

Security Reminder

Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hello @support_tony - welcome to the Local Community!

Thank you for your question.

At this time, Local only ships with up to 8.0.1 but you can follow along with this thread for PHP 8.1 updates:

Add support for PHP 8.1 in Local

I’d like to be able to run PHP 8.1 on my Local sites, Also just noting that the PHP versions we have available are not up-to-date with latest patches (PHP 8.0.0 should be 8.0.12, 7.4.1 should be 7.4.26, etc)

Thank you!
