Introduction
When you first install CakePHP3 or Magento, I guess “enable the intl extension” is the first hurdle.
It’s been a while since I first dealt with this problem, but I remember it was complicated a little.
Today, I’m going to introduce some solutions that worked for me.
The Terminal command might intimidate you, but don’t worry!
I’m going to share every step I took.
Environment
macOS Catalina
MAMP 5.7
CakePHP3 / Magento
Let’s get started!
Step1: Open Terminal and Check if Homebrew is installed
Users-MacBook:~ user$
which brew
If it returns:
/usr/local/bin/brew → Step3
not found → Step2
Step2: Install Homebrew
Access to
https://brew.sh/, then copy and Paste an install command.Users-MacBook:~ user$
Copy & Paste Here
Step3: Check PHP path
Users-MacBook:~ user$
which php
If it returns:
/usr/bin/php → Step4
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.7/bin → Step5
Step4: Change Path
Users-MacBook:~ user$
PATH=”/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.7/bin:${PATH}”
Step5: Install icu4c
Users-MacBook:~ user$
brew install icu4c
Step6: Install intl
Users-MacBook:~ user$
sudo pecl update-channels
Users-MacBook:~ user$
sudo pecl install intl
If you get “Cannot find autoconf” message:Users-MacBook:~ user$
brew install autoconf
Succeed → Step7
Failed → Skip Step7
Step7: Activate intl & Restart XAMPP
Open
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.7/conf/php.ini , and find
extension=intl.so;extension=intl.so
↓
extension=intl.so // Remove semicolon
Then, restart MAPP.
STEP8: Check the installation
There are two ways to check if our intl installation is success. First is using the following command
$ php -m | grep intl
