Installing PHP and PECL extensions on MacOS

Installing memcache and memcached gives me this error:

This is due to permission issues in your local machine. To fix this, just manually create the folder that the script cannot:

$ pecl config-get ext_dir 
/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20190902

Copy the value returned by the command and then run:

$ mkdir -p {paste clipboard value}

Then install the pecl extensions you need:

$ pecl install memcached

Happy coding!

Have you tried ServBay.dev?
It's a much easier tool for PHP developers, providing a user-friendly experience, especially for beginners. It supports all versions of PHP, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, as well as Redis and Memcached. You can run multiple PHP instances simultaneously and switch between them effortlessly. It also offers easy updates without the need to configure environment variables. This tool has greatly simplified my PHP development and is definitely worth trying!
