Can't Install Xdebug On Mac With Homebrew
Answer :
Add this repository: https://github.com/josegonzalez/homebrew-php#readme
Then use brew install php54-xdebug for PHP 5.4
Or brew install php53-xdebug for PHP 5.3
Or brew install php55-xdebug for PHP 5.5
// Working as of 2021
As homebrew removed the extra php repository containing a version with xdebug already installed, you have to install it manually.
Summary:
brew install <php version>for php- update your path
pecl install xdebugfor xdebug
Full example:
# update homebrew brew update # install a version of php, e.g. 7.0 brew install php@7.0 # now they tell you how to link it, in my case echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.0/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.0/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile # reload the file with the updated path, so we can use pecl source ~/.bash_profile # check that the path is to the correct php executable, # and pecl is available which pecl # returns: /usr/local/opt/php@7.0/bin/pecl # install xdebug, see https://xdebug.org/docs/install#pecl pecl install xdebug # check that everything worked php --version # should show a xdebug version # like: with Xdebug v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2018, by Derick Rethans The pecl install xdebug step above ended with
Build process completed successfully Installing '/usr/local/Cellar/php@7.0/7.0.30/pecl/20151012/xdebug.so' install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/xdebug-2.6.0 Extension xdebug enabled in php.ini So I didn't even need to enable the xdebug.so in php.ini.
Forget about homebrew for a moment. I have tried doing with it and it is not a that good idea stability-wise. Instead stick to the default installation guide:
Installing XDebug on Mac OSX
- Go to http://xdebug.org/wizard.php and paste your phpinfo() content there.
- Download xdebug-2.2.5.tgz (http://xdebug.org/files/xdebug-2.2.5.tgz)
Unpack the downloaded file with:
tar -xvzf xdebug-2.2.5.tgzRun:
cd xdebug-2.2.5Run phpize (install it via homebrew if you don't have it already)
phpizeAs part of its output it should show (If it does not, you are using the wrong phpize):
Configuring for: ...
Zend Module Api No: 20100525
Zend Extension Api No: 220100525Run:
./configureRun:
makeRun:
cp modules/xdebug.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525Edit /etc/php.ini and add the line:
zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/xdebug.so
Restart the web server by typing in the terminal:
sudo apachectl restart
