Setup PHP Swoole In Your Mac OS

I will assume you have the brew installed in your machine, so that I can continue all of this with brew initials command.

1brew install openssl
2
bashCopy

Do not forget to put the config below in your .bashprofile, mine is .zshrc, so I will open it and paste code below.

1export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"
2export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/lib"
3export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/include"
4export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig"
5
bashCopy

After that, you can start to install pcre2, and you still can do this with brew.

1brew install pcre2
2
bashCopy

When it's done, you can restart your php like so.

1brew services restart php
2
bashCopy

But if you get an error like this

1Stopping `php`... (might take a while)
2==> Successfully stopped `php` (label: homebrew.mxcl.php)
3Error: Formula `php` has not implemented #plist, #service or installed a locatable service file
4
bashCopy

Don't worry, you can solve that by installing php.

1brew install php
2
bashCopy

And after that, you can start your php in background with brew services like so.

1brew services start php
2
bashCopy

Now start to install the swoole with pecl.

1yes | pecl install swoole
2
bashCopy

And some of you may have an error like this.

1In file included from /private/tmp/pear/temp/swoole/ext-src/php_swoole.cc:21:
2/opt/homebrew/Cellar/php/8.0.12/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:23:10: fatal error: 'pcre2.h' file not found
3#include "pcre2.h"
4         ^~~~~~~~~
51 error generated.
6make: *** [ext-src/php_swoole.lo] Error 1
7ERROR: `make' failed
8
bashCopy

Again, do not worry. We can fix that by making symlink like this.

1sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/include/pcre2.h /usr/local/include/
2
bashCopy

Now you can start the command again like this

1yes | pecl install swoole
2
bashCopy

When the all success, you will get message in the last line that said Extension swoole enabled in php.ini.
